Wealth Danger Erodes Human Virtue? Poem by Terence George Craddock

Wealth Danger Erodes Human Virtue?



a whip weakness is Wealth without work
which leaves an immoral elite too much time
to promote profits paddling their disease
destructive weapons of war too much time
to profit promote death destruction rape of cultures
people resources in foreign lands too much time
without work to bean counter plot
trimming of all fat from sweat

shop wages in foreign third
world slight of hand
sell extortion phrase
developing countries
economies maximum yield
plunder profit raped...
