Greed

I know ye by name now

Madoff

how destinies have been altered

butchered in their original hopes

how humanity has been side stepped

for that bully ruse -Profit

a nation you have undermined

and once so careful ones

so very afraid

and worried today

you atop your pilfered piles of millions

smirk like an arrogant school boy with white hair

you attempt from your crimes to protect

those you love with the cushion of wealth

from those you swindled

ah but the courts will sort through

your demons and snatch the crumbs of flesh

you stripped

from the very mouths of those you so vehemently

protect

you have blackened the eyes of integrity

and made a mock of investors and retirees

alike

you deserve a taste of the venom you secretly

force fed others so to build your many elaborate

castles in the sand all over the world

you now stand, sleep and sit in a jail cell

for the rest of your living days

'A Convicted Enemy Of Trust'

may God have mercy on your soul

and may he give you the inner character

to do your utmost to right as best you can

all those you have so cruelly wronged

before you intake your last breath

upon this soiled earth..................
