I can clearly
Hear the tune

You’ve got doctors
And lawyers with rings
Dancing in your head

Or in a pinch
Since you’re not
All that discriminate
Even a reasonably
Successful drug dealer
Will do

Meanwhile
Below your screen
And out of mind
(And here my dear
There is laughter)
I’ll  just move on

Strolling along
With not so deaf or dumb
Though often blind Carolan
Playing his harp by the sea

That's what can happen when the trust fund is big enough for cocaine, but not big enough for criminal empire.

Thanks for this name-referenced slice of life. An appreciated read, although it describes sad circumstances and a destructive, foolish entity. It takes moxie to write of such honestly.
