Embezzlement

You rip people off and get money in debt,

You kill and you rape and you gamble and bet;

You think you are right but most people are left,

You die and you live and you steal and it's theft.

.

Embezzlement is a kind of corporate rip off,

Juggling the figures till you're in jail and nothing left;

The money the world seems to get and to give,

Goes into your pockets and accounts to high live.

.

Now gone are the days when all your friends gave pays,

And you're left high and dry with the inmates and gays;

You can write what you like and get away with it all,

But in one day the earth returns and it's a big spinning ball.

.

And the pages and numbers all go along logically all day,

Until you're drunk in the gutter and are spinning away;

As the price was quite nice but the cost as expensive as hell,

So return to your maker and not die or start to live well.

.

When embezzlement strikes you get fat at other people's expense,

And it's far beyond a joke and it is over the fence;

Be sure you'll be caught and won't get away with it all,

But land up convicted by the judge with head against the wall.

.

Well at the end of the day when you caught in embezzlement,

It's a hell of a risk and supplies plenty of embarrassment;

To some it's a novel idea that turns and means the truth of the times,

And this is all ended and now all finished in rhymes.

.

Signed,

I won't get caught.
