Money Tree…..

 money tree 2

So, you looked after our money as best you could?
You played the stock market,  the interest was good,
there was a huge problem in the chances you took,
what the heck, grows on trees, trust to
Bankers luck.
money tree 2
 Saved again by our
money,  yet feeling no blame
holding hands out for bonus’s , still feeling no shame.
Countless millions were lost, so many lives destroyed
but no pangs of conscience,  seeming totally devoid..

You must be so proud of the harsh beating we took
You feel no discomfort,   just a sly backward look,
WE  bailed out the Banks, of that fact we are sure
Money business goes on,  just don’t talk such manure…

  3. This is really, really, really awesome! I was shaking my head all the way through it at how greedy those bankers are and how they have practically crippled our country. A great write Pen 😀

    I wrote a poem about how our struggling bank balances feel – if you wanna take a look: http://chloerichmond.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/the-bank-balance/

    • Wow, Chloe, thanks ever so for the accolade, very much appreciated. and I agree about the Fat Cat bankers, who’ve caused this latest recession almost on their own…and not even an apology forthcoming, just a hand held out for bonus’s!! I’ll take a look-see at your link, and Ihope you’re having a great Tuesday…. 🙂 x

  4. Great poem, and such a good message. We should all think twice, sadly most don’t.
