Separating People From Their Money Without Guns



Separating People From Their Money Without Guns

We are ruled by whims and dreams of college dropouts, whose works, F grade failures
Would never get passing grades, if subjected to real school grading, instead of trending
Millions of medical tests from a drop of blood, such a liar, almost youngest billionaire
Going to jail for wire fraud and conspiracy, nothing for all the people hurt by useless tests

Computer systems that facilitate identity theft, revenge porn, fake news, extortions
All those products, sweat and blood of college dropouts, half baked, totally incomplete
Goober eats slapdash, the fine old art of paying protection money to avoid bankruptcy
You have to pay hard earned cash every day, if not on their lists, you lose the profits

Companies in waters, where top predators eat the entire food chain, in one lousy bite
Top of their peers in robber baron schooling, no idea of how their reality wrecks cradles
Profiting from their mistakes, they never look back, wheeling barrels of money to banks
Cars that stop on a dime in traffic still moving, flying off road in bursts of flame and glory
