Other Peoples Money

Other People's Money © 2016, 2025 J. Mark Witters

Other people's money is what it's all about.
Other people's money makes them jump and shout.
There is no more honor in that den of thieves
than one would find in exile from what he believes.
Honesty and principles are nowhere to be found.
Everything's for sale. Hypocrisy abounds.

Other people's money-kid with a new toy.
No responsibilities, commitments always coy.
Regulate all aspects of our meager existence.
Delegate what matters and select faux-resistance.
Opulent ship of state run into the ground.
Corruption-made an art-form designed to confound.

Policy created never built on fact.
Reactive propaganda keeps free-thought hijacked.
Management through crisis is easier to force.
State full of bad actors never reveal the source.
Robbery in progress... One thing's not in doubt.
Other people's money eventually runs out.
