The markets

2781

The markets up again 

 

A positive word

 

A number claimed 

 

But who is really getting fat 

 

Lies and Deception honour that 

 

Money like water flows away 

 

Into a muddy puddle 

 

Where the rich kids play.

 

Storing money in bags with holes is bad for ones health afflicting the soul 

 

Our labour now spent on vanity and war

 

The middle class stripped as they lavish the whore

 

He sees the affliction 

 

Knows the score 

 

When the cess pool is full he'll fatten the poor. 

 

"Your tide ever flowing, in and out...

 

Your the moon and the stars, your Venus and Mars...

 

How can anything be anything?

 

Everything is you.

 

But where is Your praise?

 

But only a few.

 

Wolves in sheeps clothing-

 

Scattered the flock..

 

Now evil enchantments are seen round the clock."

 

Go on marrying and giving in marriage..

 

Sell and trade like there's no tomorrow. 

 

The pit they dig won't hide their sorrow.

    This reads like a biblical verse. I feel premonitions of doom here. Well I guess I don't need this to tell me doom is around the corner. Nicely written with good flow. A nice read.

    Got that, Mate.

      That's because you're one of the good guys.
