In Memory of Mark Madoff
The Sins of the Father
By Elton Camp
The Law of Moses explains the reason why
For the father’s sin, his son should not die
As far as what I know, it surely does not seem
Mark Madoff knew his father’s Ponzi scheme
Those once rich people who their millions lost
Are trying to recover their money at any cost
They participated in a dubious, high-risk game
And now they look to others to take the blame
Returns old Bernie promised couldn’t be right
Their lack of judgment got them into the tight
They surely knew, truly honest it couldn’t be
And that it would finally fail should foresee
Perhaps Mark got tired of endless accusations
And to his own character, all the recriminations
With years ahead full of seemingly endless strife
Perhaps that is why the innocent son took his life
