Spider lays intrigue

( Another side of the spider tale )

There are those who tear down everything
like your house then promise a new estate.
But first the office block or shopping centre
what of your houses? shucks you’ll have to wait.

You can’t stop or hold progress back
with those who complain I’ll have no truck
There are things you need that you’re now getting
like them or not I’ll still make my buck.

I’d give you a job if you cost less than the rest
what do you mean I pay slaves wages
Don’t you see us CEO'S know best
I’ve been riding the gravy train for ages.

Politicians are among our fellow travellers
we must have the laws that grease the deal
No you can’t board or be one of the revellers
we’ve all swore an oath to the Masonic seal.

So what of your plight I say please worry not
you and the likes of you we’ll take care of soon
Then you’ll be a memory that is soon forgot
just let me look among you a there he is, a goon.

See the goon has no allegiance to any other man
he will only side or act if paid by pound or dollar
The fact of life my friend is I’m the man who can
pay the goon his wages to kill or keep you in squalor.

So to end I say, you annoy me no more than a fly
and don’t you know fly’s the goon will surely swat
So just you listen up and please don’t start to cry
or I’ll pay the goon or government to have you not.
