Premium Member In the Money or Not? - Mixed

#1

I would like to see
the day I win the lottery.

Just ten grand?

No, I demand,
you must rescan;

I cannot plan
a life as bland

as the one I'm living now!

Premium Member That's Entertainment

  Magic saw cuts assistant in two
    Pretty lady emerges good as new

  Magician pulls hankie from hat
    Dove flies away

  He tells you your name, DOB,
    even your fortune

  The man rakes in the money ~
    Entertainment’s portion

Premium Member Emptying the Pot

The golden pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow
hands made the pot run dry
It is time to put a plug
in the money that flows
from pockets of people
take it away from eastern flow
because the westerners know
nothing good will come of it
the pot of gold empty now
colours of the rainbow faded
how will we ever refill the pot
not in my lifetime surely not.

Fire Wall

Someone's sneaking,
reading, peeking,
poking, prying, trying, seeking...
Seeing if your secret's leaking,
seeping through, the walls have weakened,
finding out the facts you're keeping
seeing through your thin disguise...

And someone's breaking
enter, taking,
entertaining, gaining, raking
in the money for the making,
staking out the doubt you're shaking
seeing through the You you're faking
knowing you're Just Living Lies.

On the Way Up

I was oh so foolish
I finally got my way
I scraped and stepped 
on people, just let them lay
a sociopath they called me
I could only grin
they amounted to nothing 
so I never thought it as a sin.

Lost my children and my wife
didn’t play attention to them
I was rolling in the money
I could only grin.

Now I am an old man
big retirement under my skin
all alone 
day after day
 in a chair I simply sit
got a lot of time and money
I can only grin.
