Bleeding Sons of Lucre

Bleeding Sons of Lucre Happy Mother’s beam is the Bank; We lean on cash, our Father’s flank. In search of it others eschew grime For easy “one” by committing crime. (This is Poetry; this is not a Sermon I’ll not recur on cursing mammon!) Oily hands stretched for reception To that you give without deception... Is “clean” money not so “laundered” That can be peacefully squandered! JM 31st Oct’ 2013

I had to look up the definitions for "lucre" and "mammon" so thanks for expanding my vocabulary, JM! Awesome poem, and great use of those words. Enjoyed it very much; kudos! :)
