Life is a card game
With a marked deck:
They look all the same
To make one a wreck.

You make a life bet
And somehow a smell
Warns you that fate’s debt
Will land you in hell.

Money, money, money, that ruling class wrench
Dollars not nutritious, delicious, or warm.
Corruption, corruption, that swarmy old stench
Infests corporations with poisonous charm.

Not
One
Cent
More!
