Money Changers, Speculators & Robber Barons
MONEY CHANGERS, SPECULATORS AND ROBBER BARONS * Money changers, Speculators and Robber Barons, It won't be the first time, they've had to cleanse the temples, of the Jack-Of-All-Trades, in their constant charades, of making money on paper, that they now can't raise! * They all learned to read the legalese, and they spell it all out, for you and me, in this tiny small print, because as you know, there's money in it, * This time the speculators bit off, more than they could chew! More than even, anyone of you, could ever pay back, in a single lifetime, the government bailout,their only lifeline! * Pompous asses sitting in long black cars, who sit on their assets, like drunks in a bar, While business goes under, and people loosetheir jobs! Foreclosed 5 million homes, that now have no buyers! Instead oflooking tocompromise, by negotiating with the same people, they helped put in to debt! * They'd rather rape and pillage, then find a compromise out! Now the pain of their follies, have come home to roost! * They played their evil games, and now they must choose, between taking their chips, and cashing them in, or staying in a game, that they know they can't win! * The game is now over, for the Money Changers, Speculators, and Robber Barons, so let's fingerprint them all, and throw them in jail! * WordPlaya, March 2009
