BLIND BANKINGA Poem by Bill Grimke-DraytonFinancing evil and asking no questionsI’m paid to keep quiet!
My silence is their Treasure, hidden from prying eyes. Those movers and shakers, who use soiled Hands, trust their finance with me.
I’m the blind banker In his steel-vault, Counting out what’s his by right, And loaned for a timeless while To so-called crooks and knaves With kid gloves and ill-fitting suits,
As you judge them to be,
With doubtful proofs of evil acts, To link them in their guilt With piles of splintered corpses On second-hand, ingrained prints -
Not my concern!
Just For the morbid and curious, And I am neither.
