Cheques & Balances

The world of cheques and balances

Has me quite beffudled

Where the line between business

And robbery, is muddled -

This murky world of dubious statements

Of investments and vested interests

Confuses me, who finds compound interest

As confounding as it is interesting;

The world of shadowy bankers

Whose influence spreads everywhere

Who own a part of every cent

And spin money out of thin air

Money makes the world spin -

And it is spinning yet -

Like Rumpelstilskin, they weave gold from yarns

To clothe us in a garb of debt

Thick as thieves,

Slick as oil spills,

Impenetrable as Greek phalanxes

Who will check this unbalanced world,

A world of cheques and balances?

A clever and thought-provoking write. I enjoyed the read. ~ Robert.
