The African Cartel

The African Cartel has been on a "clean up" mission,
filled with stories of debauchery and extortion,
Their trails stretch from the streets of the Financial District
to families that are ivy leagued and filled with prestige,
Their goal is, an outrageous accumulation of wealth
to gain power and strength,
Their rackets include drugs, human trafficking and
kidnapping, to accomplish their missions they will stop at nothing!
From "shaking folks down" in the middle of broad daylight
to absconding with their family members in plain sight,
No one suspects, because they hide behind Burberry coats
and specs........,
But, if the powers that be reflect,
They will find that their cleverly master minded crimes have left
a long trail behind.
