Golden Age of Thieves

They won't chase you down
you'll never see a gun
It's the golden age of thieves
these high tech robbers you can't outrun

With a click of a mouse
they can steal your dreams
lining there own pockets
with another financial scheme

Bankers, brokers and CEO's
sealing shady deals over cellphones
obtaining wealth and easy living  
by taking everything you own

They wear three piece suits
con artists with there fancy degrees
determined to steal your money
It's the golden age of thieves

So true in every sense of the word...They're worse than cockroaches. I'd like to smash a couple thousand myself, if they get too close for comfort. Nice writing my friend....Lawrence in Lou. Ky.
