Cruel masters

2781

The borrower is servant to the lender 

It's always been that way 

With money control

They have the sway

They think they are cleaver 

But must pay their debt

With violence and bloodshed 

They cast their net

The earth testifies against their creed 

Money, power, lies and greed 

Modern day slavery 

Fuelling the cause 

Using usury to work us all

Yes they will come to a bend

And righteousness will return 

At their bitter end.

    That righteousness will return sometime but I don't think it will be in my lifetime. Good words 2781.
