One More Deal
ONE MORE DEAL
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
Who is it that dictates right from wrong
The common perception says, it’s the strong
It could be a majority or those in power
Or a well armed group can make you cower
But what about those that are well heeled
They always make out no matter the deal
Why is it the rich can usually impart
Their wants and needs, cause they’re smart
They know who to grease and who to back
What circles to visit, a winners knack
But even the affluent have an achilles heel
If they are greedy, they want one more deal
To make money this easy seems like a sin
That’s the thought as the con man reels them in
That’s when the foxes come out of the woods
The scam is perfect, bid adieu to your goods
Greed is good that’s what some will say
Not those having their wealth stolen away
No doubt there will be bitter consternation
A blow to their ego heartless frustration
They’ll keep it quiet so there’s no indication
They can’t stand the spotlight of humiliation
