The Exploitation Price Poem by John Sensele

Usury is a colon cancer
That maims and claims lives of terminal patients.
Ill-gotten wealth to your life supplies no adequate answer
Except to block blessings and punish revenue recipients.

Extortion is a boomerang
That smites and strikers choosers and users.
Ill-gotten wealth soon slips from life's ladder rung
Where it transmutes exploiters into losers.

A trading malpractice is a booby trap
That waylays and slays recidivists.
Ill-gotten wealth is a straitjacket strap
That singes wrists and phony priests.

Ill-gotten wealth is a defective car tyre
That guarantees both suicide and homicide.
Ill-gotten wealth is Hell's pyre
Fuelled and powered by an aldehyde.
