Devils Seed Poem by louis rams

The devil planted many seeds, the most powerful is called greed
Men struggle to get their little fingers on that ball called wealth
It matters not who is hurt or what is felt.
Wealth is power, this we know
But these politicians have got to go.
They don't care how it's achieved
And the public they will bleed
They work with the banks who control the money
So they could live on milk and honey.
You apply for a mortgage and your application has been rejected
Because your credit score is too low, and you don't
Have enough of a cash flow.
Yet they turn around and send you a notice that you
Are pre- approved for a high credit line
If you make your payments on time
Your credit line can be used to make purchases of any kind
But if you try to use it for closing costs
They say " you're out of your mind "
You pay your bills every month without fail
But if you're late on your mortgage
They take away your house and want to put you in jail.
Once you've made your interest payments
The principal they care nothing about
Because they have others waiting when they throw you out
They use your money to give others a loan
Then at you they throw stones.
This is the devils seed at work, making us feel
Like a complete jerk.
