As commodities go, you are harmless enough
Whether tendered in coin, or in crinkly stuff.
But without you it seems that the world will not turn,
Men consort with the devil, your favour to earn.

They will cheat and deceive, yes, and murder as well,
And for you, more than any, damned lies they will tell.
Your repose in the hand brings a gleam to the eye
Yet, because of you, many will perish and die.

On the drug scene you loiter, malicious and hard
Where your influence creeps in an evil facade.
And the contraband, stained with the taint of your breath
May bring joy, then despair... and a premature death.

Though taught, as a boy, I must work for your favour,
Adulthood revealed a much more distinct flavour.
For those most productive, your profits are small
While you cosset with cheats and deceivers and all...

Who transact finances, in form parasitic
Appearing ostensibly most analytic;
And patronise smugly, in suit and white collar,
Advancing conjectures in search of their dollar...

“We will honour your custom, regardless of source,
With the privacy act there is little recourse;
You just cover your traces and we’ll do the same
It’s a “dog eat dog” world in this lucrative game.

You get them all hooked and we’ll all become rich
Their lives are expendable - merely a glitch.
Too bad for their loved ones - but, oh, what the hell,
Blind eyes we will turn if you get them as well!”

Though mighty your power, and important your deed,
You’re the brother of anguish and mother of greed;
Who seek only profit, but count not the cost
For the parents who grieve... and the children they’ve lost.

Yes, in drug lords and lackeys, your minions are legion;
They launder your bloodstains in every known region
Of banking and commerce, our lives to control,
But you still have no stake... in affairs of the soul!

The greatest thing you can do for another is not just to share your own riches...but to reveal to him his own.
