As I Ponder

Once upon a citizen’s query
As they pondered, weak and weary.
How they would make enough money
To pay the beekeeper for the honey.

Should they give the hive owner cash
Or save that for their own stash
And give the hiver an IOU
hoping they will have the money when its due?

They could start a business and charge to join their club
Then pay the IOU with the cash flow and give the new members a stub
The only hope is that the members don’t discover the truth
Because they will have to come up with some real cash or end up in an iron booth.

Time for a new scheme but what could it be about?
Perhaps start a sub prime mortgage bank and eventually get bailed out.
That would put them back in the black numbers so they can try once more
To bilk the consumer for every penny they can get and more

They can take control of the government and get their agenda passed
And then somehow under the table resume what they did in the past.
Whose going to stop them since everyone is involved
Isn’t it sad how our society has evolved?

They are worshipping a false god called material and wealth
And not thinking about the future and society’s health
The result will be the decline of the whole and eventually lead to disaster
But that is what happens when greed is rampant and money is master.
