The Organized Crime Rhyme

In the 1920's labor had fights Employers hired toughs, both sides ignored rights Unions hired the Mafia, thought they’d be strong The tactic was effective, but unwise and wrong. The Mafia knew that beggars can’t choose They made an offer the unions could not refuse Took over, raided wages, extorted the boss They made the gain, the workers the loss In Mexico, cartels own a third of the land Don’t run for office, you might die by their hand In Russia and China, rulers solidify Mafia ties Crime helps rulers, and liberty dies. Cash for the ruthless, recently in the news Iran paid European Mafias to kill Europe’s Jews There's no stopping the wicked, they endlessly reach These warning verses are but a stone on a beach Your profile may be low, so you see no cause to arm But get in their way, and then comes the harm To take an example, I read this to my alarm Not far from me, Hudson valley, bodies hidden in a farm. Any tech that helps, bad guys seize the chance. Like a drug that puts victims in a spellbound trance That drug: 'devil's breath', will severely confuse. So it and other drugs Columbia Mafia’s use From the danger buffet, you can take your pick Bad guys don't have to kill, they can make you sick Harmful drugs aerosolized, blown to a face Your life derailed, a crime with no trace. So, the picture is this Governments and Mafias give each other a kiss Technology for both, that can control you What a brave new world, nothing we can do.
