They venture,they strive.
They rule the industry,the trade they dominate,they must thrive!
Slaves to avarice,they are the greedy wolves!
Comforts and luxuries are all they need,riches are all they seek.

Labour is the propellent factor,they know.
Its misery is a blessing in disguise,its bargaining power is low.
The labour can survive on a meagre wage,
the profits they must take,
empires they want to build,
wealth they want to accumulate.

They love to indulge,they love to celebrate.
Asked to donate,they are miser to the core!
To contribute to the exchequer they abhor.
Opportunity they cannot stand to lose,
to bribe the system,often they choose!

On arrogance and ill gotten degrees,
their offsprings barely manage to survive.
They live in a world of ecstasy,
to them suffering is a novelty.
They rejuvenate!To their aid arrives the probate.
Like the gentlemen of leisure,they can choose to live.

With each dying moment,the coffers swell,their wealth increases.
The gulf widens,
the misery perpetuates!

Them,prosperity exhilarates.
The self-esteem of the populace,it must annihilate!
The populace treats them with generosity,
they reciprocate with apathy!

For enterprise,the entrepreneurs extract an exorbitant price.
For the eternal ignorance,
they continue to exploit.
They can rejoice,they will thrive!

They calculate,they manipulate.
They promulgate,they legislate.
They administrate,they influence,they dictate.
They must have power,
they want to dominate!

Garrisons they keep,in forts they live.
They are the noblemen of yore!
In the era of aristocracy,
through the sword,authority was laid to seige.
In the times of democracy,
vandals provide the sticks,
bribes are the carrots,
the electorate they enslave,
the mandate they seize,
they continue to dominate!

Police and judiciary are their defacto affiliates,
they circumvent the very laws they create.
Civil servants are their associates.
They negotiate,they legislate.
The populace continues to suffer,fortunes they accumulate!
Maestros of propaganda,blatant lies they fabricate.
Opportunists to the core,between extremes they oscillate.
To consolidate they build syndicates.

They indulge,they live in castles.
With mere morsels they placate.
To survive they must exaggerate.
