Gross Lusters
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Flagrant are those loopholes used,
Yet abused to hide them secretly.
To please,
Gross lusters.
Greedy gross lusters.
Scheming from the top,
Dropping pennies to the ones in need.
Gross lusters.
Deceiving gross lusters!
Blaming the economy.
Although no taxes they pay.
Seen.
Gross lusters.
Those feasting gross lusters.
Claiming a diversity,
Has depleted democracy.
Believed.
Gross lusters.
Standing tall on the back of suckers.
Flagrant are those loopholes used.
Hidden to abuse them secretly.
To please...
Gross lusters.
Grabbing under table hustlers.
Blaming the economy.
Although no taxes they pay seen.
Gross lusters.
Selfish gross lusters.
Hoarding wealth to say they've earned.
From the people seeking food to eat.
And a place to sleep.
Broke suckers.
Living lives to cuss out others.
Leaving gross lusters,
Caring less who's left to suffer.
Gross lusters.
Stuffing pockets.
Gross lusters.
Stuffing pockets.
Gross lusters.
And their mouths nonstop.
Gross lusters.
With nothing else to think about.
But money!
Gross lusters.
Gross lusters.
Gross lusters.
Furious money hustlers and corrupt!
Gross lusters.
Furious money husters and corrupt.
And committed.
To admit it.
And corrupt.
To admit it.
And committed to corrupt!
With no guilt or empathy to pity,
People doing what they must.
With no guilt or empathy to pity,
People struggling to get up off their butts!
