“If he were tortured for a thousand years
it would not be long enough,” says
one of his “victims”.
oh Money God how you have grown
in power since that first coin mint
how vastly grown seductively
US into temptation
sowing what we reap we weep
“gimmie back my sugar daddy!”

after crying a river
she laughed herself to deaf

It is easy to surrender
when hope dies
it is hard to live in terror
when your dictator
shoots a bullet
thru a youthful and beautiful female
at least she is not in prison being tortured

faced with life we say
not now!
where oh where is […]
