The Robin Hood of 2016

Rachael Hood hacked into the Royal Bank, HSBC, Santander, the Bank of Scotland, The Clydesdale, Barclays, Lloyds/TSB and the Halifax, Got into each and every managers’ accounts, Took ninety percent of their bonuses, And left a thank you note handwritten in return. It said, “Thank you for this money, It is worth gold as it will save many lives, And make a whole lot of people better, happier: Warmer and save them from death, And give them food and warm clothes.” It was for the Syrian refugees, Oxfam, Save the Children and WaterAid, As Rachael had found out from them, Just how ravishing and destructive life was for some, For those who hadn’t done anything wrong, Who hadn’t caused or aggravated their situation in any way, And who where giving their all just to stay alive.
