They Are Crooks In Disguise Poem by Francis Duggan

If you miss an interest payment to the bank a penalty you must pay
The bankers are not kind and generous in any sort of a way
Out of hard working people like you and others the banker becomes a billionaire
That is life as some do tell us but life it is not always fair.

Of the financial hardship endured by some of their customers the bankers do not realize
But that in itself is not any surprise
Since it is the bureaucratic way that success comes through greed
Of compassion and kindness such people seem lacking indeed

With bankers it is always much wants much more
The bureaucratic heart does have a rotten core
They always take more far more than they give
And without a sense of shame the good life they do live

Most bankers are just greedy loan sharks who would not know how to be kind
And compassion among them would be hard to find
Those who are late with an interest payment they do penalize
As well as being greedy and wealthy they are crooks in disguise.
