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!

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! :)
