The heartaches of living are many
The comforts of living are few;
The truths we are told are not many
And the lies we were told have come...

giving more hideous returns,
weeping songs, chaotic notes
as swollen...

Premium Member Rapacious
Rich get richer as they
ride shamelessly over

remorseless profiteers,
reaping their lust for gold,
reduce the rabble to
rats in a maze of debt....
