Legal Crims

These faceless and heartless billionaires the greatest crims of all How many on account of them have gone to the financial wall They always come out winning and a massive profit make And they keep on raising interests and they take and take and take. Last year the young man became redundant due to no fault of his own And when he got behind on his mortgage payments little mercy to him shown By the banker who gave him credit his home he was forced to sell How many others like him have similar stories to tell? . He and his wife and their little boy in a single bedroom rented flat And whilst he has grown much poorer his ex creditors have grown rich and fat On the misfortunes of others like him who too have fallen by the way Whilst the legal crims grow wealthier and more powerful by the day. They are legal financial traders yet the greatest crims of all And because of them so many have gone to the financial wall And to those who owe them money they show little sympathy And they are to blame in some ways for the rise in poverty.
