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
