There’s something to the saying,
“It’s too good to be true”.
L
isten up listen well
 A lesson for me and you
 
 This story you all know by now,
 And surely I digress.
 People came from everywhere
 With money to invest.
 
 High interest rates we would get.
 We knew he was the best.
 But looking back upon it now
 I know we failed the test.
 
 Harry said he was a fraud.
 No one heard, they hemmed and hawed.
 Not sustainable; the rates he screamed.
 It had to be a Ponzi scheme.
 
 Indigestible to jest about
 For this we cannot swallow.
 Pensions gone, retirements too.
 People alone and hollow
 
 Sentenced a hundred and fifty years.
 That is all he got.
 I would resurrect his bones
 So he could finish the lot.
 
 It comes back to that saying…
 “Too good to be true”, you see.
 Investors all, we took the hit.
 Bernie made off with all of it.

Earth quaking trees sprinkled their pollen,
Powder puffing the forest floor.
A plume of golden mist rose up from its lush green lineage.
