to identify the cause
of woe or puzzlement eludes me
and stares at me third eye blind,
which occipital orbs
appear as two cranberries
bogged down slipping
into the behavioral sink.
Take for instance
a barrage and onslaught
of invisible derelicts
hollowing out checking accounts
impacting soul asylum
leaving deep purple
bruises upon mein kampf
tantamount to losing my religion
and faith no more with secure defense
against where the wild things live
rem-member ring blissful ignorance
viz hitted soul asylum of childhood end\'s
hearing the somber sound of mourning
wondering if demise of mine
which lack the cents
and sensibility of foresight
reasoning without rhyme explains the dirge
for whom the bell tolls,
unaware Across the River
and Into the Trees
rapscallions sabotaged Garden of Eden
finds me earnestly hemming and hawing
this, that and the other way
gesticulating farewell to arms,
where a slew of foo fight beastie boys
targets yours truly who feels averse
being linkedin to the human league
analogous to those
who worship impious greed
while battling upon warship,
where grateful dead deaf to dolorous tune
(bill leaving in false idol of legal tender)
by George thoroughly utter a plea
encompassing earth, wind and fire
fundamentally to finance Delaware Destroyers
gameplan unbeknownst to me
at my expense to counteract
slaying innocent lives courtesy mortal Kombat
I can only helplessly witness
chain-smokers as pretenders
imperceptible to me inundating,
and stashing their pockets
with cash stealthily appropriated
compliments of overly
ambitious, burglarious, contumacious,
deleterious, hashtagged as
excrementitious, felonious, gregarious,
hellacious, ignominious, malicious,
notorious and opprobrious
imps of the perverse
cracker barrel careening thugs
whipsawing mine measly
sad excuse for a nest egg
at the mercy and whim of
online cyber crooks,
who with tech savviness
commencing approximately mid-year 2025
spent an inherent natural born talent
to finagle namely steal riches
out of the bank accounts
of yours truly and
(strictly my backed up hunch) other
traumatizing unsuspecting victims,
albeit robbed courtesy
sinister embedded code
with deliberate intent
to weasel their malevolent shenanigans
dead set to leave absolute zero trace
of high crimes and misdemeanors
and leave nary one red cent
gleeful at their haul of free money
exhausting checking accounts of mine
from an unsuspecting victim
discovering their (mine) filched finances
with Linda Creque as the mastermind
upon surreptitiously acquiring
my checking account number
(long since nullified)
after blithely utilizing
debit/credit card resources of mine
to make extravagant purchases
severely compromising moolah
to impose restriction
impossible mission to purchase
over the counter items
such as vitamins and general products
for maintaining well being
at one of my favorite goto
brick and mortal merchants
such as Customer-Valued-Service
only to discover visa vis
that transaction(s) got denied
and access to online
rendered an impossible mission
underscored_initially with blandishments
after being hoodwinked
while I meandered cyberspace
plying Macbook Pro thru virtual sea
displayed alarming message
forewarned me against
turning off the laptop
lest ghost in the machine
scared the sh*t out of yours truly,
whereat fiendish ghoulish
Apple computer fraudsters
imitating authentic computer geeks
entranced this generally
cautious cyber-surfer
totally blind sided like an automaton,
who must be oblivious
to the cause where
byte size raw bits
established, encrypted, embedded,
where pecuniary loss/damage
shrugged off after being shouldered
as Citizens Bank paltroon
pennies on the dollar petty peccadilloes,
where said banking institution
restored the pilfered funds,
and after filing the first
of many a claim
continued in my life
though frustrated with
the time consuming rigmarole
(to shutter old accounts
open new checking accounts
transfer funds,
and happy as a clam
for a short duration
until subsequent incidents
of bank fraud
rankled me to no end
but never did the idea
to contact a Macbook Pro technician arise
whereby the laptop put thru the paces
of a thorough virus scan
and malware diagnosis
until yesterday June twenty seventh
two thousand twenty six
approximately a year to the day
since being a scapegoat of perpetrator(s)
ransacked my checking accounts
until criminal unwittingly implicated herself
emailing me under a pseudonym,
but jogging memory of mind
how about three hundred
and sixty five days prior,
she hounded yours truly
inveigle wordsmith (a formal verb
that means to persuade
or convince someone
to do something
through deception, flattery,
or clever trickery, and implies
using manipulation
or smooth-talking
to lead someone
convincingly into an action) -
such as foolishly
sharing my account number -
they might not otherwise want to take
in retrospect finding myself
as sucker with her faux
generous heart to lend me moolah,
and unexpectedly \"My My, Hey Hey
out of the Neil Young archive,
the following partial lyrics come to mind
\"Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that.\"
