The Avarice Rap 

In God we trust

The green back thrust

Go, beggars there

The weak beware

 

Through investor’s scams

You’ll drown in spam

For the strong survive

You paupers… die

 

Below the waves

Drown working slave

For we are strong

And you were wrong

 

You trust us now?

We laugh out loud

At the foolish rules

And our integrity…fools

 

Our riches rich

From our worthless pitch

We gave you hope

On a slippery slope

 

Deceit was fun

A delightful run

Dream fraudulent dreams

You of meager means

 

A sucker’s scorn, HA!

Each second born

A fix for fools

For we know the rules

 

To bend our ways

Our advisors say

It’s the business maxim

To avoid the taxman

 

We’re rich and strong

You’re poor and wrong

Invest…. beware

Of our deceitful shares

 

Go down our path

Use righteous math

For we cook the books

To make it look

 

Like the fools you are

Around the bar

To talk of cash

For work that’s trash

 

Without fair value

We laugh at buy – you

Fools are greedy

The avariciousness needy

 

You see….

 

We need your cash

To forever flash

Our rolls of bills

Buy many a thrill

 

Our antique cars

Our hobbies “jar”

So off we go

To the Hampton Roads

 

Our Rosedale mansions

The links, our passion

My yacht it sucks

Thirty million bucks

 

She beckons fair

On seas, beware

Of the dangers, lurk

My executives smirk

 

Of a life so easy

Best practices, sleazy

But am I wrong

To be so strong 

 

You judge me so

As your avarice grows

For I am strong

And you were wrong

 

To trust me dearly

You paid so keenly

For society’s greed

Fed the “ticker’s” need

 

To rise so smartly

To fall so sharply

You sang the song

Kept avarice strong

 

… and my ethics pleasing
