money woes

i really feel sorry
for the people
who thought they had money
tucked away

it's like a magic act
now you see the bunny
now you don't

they'll spend time
with jaws dropped
wondering just how
the trick was played out

it's too bad the magicians
aren't forced to face a firing squad

i'm not really in to killing people
but it is just amazing
what certain folks
can get by with

to me this is a far worse crime
than any drug related offense
screaming "war on drugs"
was that simply a looky here ploy
employed while the financial racketeers
stole people blind

the scarf, the hat and the wand
now to live with the collapse
