Open the Flood Gates

You open the flood gates if you say You come from the bush and are in power, So beside your regular pay Some misappropriation won't matter. Billions may pass on your belt each day And your heart, dangling in greed, May say to you: "Rustic fellow, make hay While you can. Only bounds don't exceed." Your move needs multiple endorsers En route for the cash to come through. Further, you lay yourself open to those bribers! Truly, the day you did it you may rue! "Where in the world has anyone Been squeaky clean holding money like this? As there's none under the sun Taking some won't be that amiss! "Seeing you insist on doing this,... Even though you'll mislead your subordinates, And are actually providing a basis For graft,...Open the flood gates! Money taken from the public purse Will be in the tens of trillions! You'll be engendering a captured burse And bewildered citizens!
