FOLLOW THE MONEY

Crazy times we live in
Filled with irony
Where is all the money?
Loss of harmony?

Take up a collection
Give it to the bank
They got an infection
Didn’t even thank

Gave up all our money,
Though they had it all.
Spent it getting bigger,
Threw us a curve ball.

How much did we give them?
Everything and more.
Then get a loan from them,
How were paying for.

Then the auto makers
Said they need some too.
Moneys only paper,
Now give us our due.

Mr. Jones lost his home
When his job did fail.
When he took a dollar bill
They put him in jail.

Then there’s Bernnie Madoff,
Made off fifty bill.
Though it’s fifty billion
Punishment is nil.

All the mucky muckys
Got us in this mess.
Say they will rescue us
We’ll be so impressed.

They say it is their job
Save the human race.
But when you add it up
It’s but a disgrace.
