Clouds Laughed

More of this, more of that
    Fifty dogs, a hundred cats
  Never satisfied, never enough
    A card sharp, called million-dollar bluffs

  Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis galore
    Never enough, needed far more
  Penthouse in Manhattan, two in L.A.
    Resorts in Palm Springs and Montego Bay

  Trumped the tallest towers
    Built a castle reached the sky
  Clouds laughed, then raced to form
    a simple question ~ W H Y?

How has he got away with his crimes for so long? And when will he be charged for all the crimes he has committed? Why isn't he in prison? If why is a simple question, how much longer do we have to wait for an answer.?
