Lawyers and Buzzards
My blood boils when I think I have yet
to meet a lawyer with a shred of dignity
one that's god-fearing and not immoral
heartless greedy or egomaniacal
It boggles my mind how anyone could
stoop so low to take advantage of the weak
and deliberately dry them out and
watch them grow old sick and wither away
at their weakest and most vulnerable
It ain’t rocket science…
Lawyers and buzzards what's more
unscrupulous and repulsive as they circle
playing their conniving ugly games
of gluttony abuse and power
I could never see myself
stooping so low knowing that one day
I'd have to face my Maker –
how do they sleep at night?
I'm not much for throwing
everyone in the same basket so…
I'll forget this scandalous disgraceful
travesty once it's over and done
One day this crazy outstanding
legal issue will finally be settled
when they run out of reasons
for delays and cheap empty promises
That’s when I'll let lawyers and buzzards
go on their merry way
saying… ‘Live and let live’ –
can't change the world in one fell swoop
