I actually met a consultant in Atlanta who wined and dined me one time and told me about the river of wealth that was readily available flowing through that town. Didn't give me a clue as to how to tap it. But a certain someone is telling me loudly how to do it now.

Money Drain Courtesy TheFringeNews.com Money River Goin' down to the river. Goin' down to the river to see. Goin' where the money flows free. Man with no clothes once told me, that river runs past Prosper Town. Just got to know where to tap it, before all that money moves on. Ain't 'bout workin' hard. Ain't 'bout livin' right. Ain't 'bout savin' yer pennies. It's ‘bout knowin’ the game. Unless youse in the know, everythin’ else's just lame. It's 'bout lyin' and stealin'. It's ‘bout knowin' who to con. 'Bout knowin’ the right people, no lookin' back, jus moving on. So I's goin' down to that river, goin' to drink my fill. Cuz I deserve it, must be God's will. Copyright 2019 © Ronald W.

This one needs to be set to music. It would make a great song. Great work, Ron.

Ron,
So much truth about your poem. Many good people shy away from money. Yet money is a tool that can be used for good.

The best of the blues from a bluesy kind of guy, reminding me of BB King to a certain degree...-e-

Eventually all that scheming of greed tapping into the greed of others, backfires.

I feel the blues in the poem. Oh, how I feel it. Tongue-in-cheek truths that are true !

The blues are by definition eloquent, as is your song here. Snake oil salesmen are everywhere.

For Ann and other readers. This was meant to be a blues song lyrics. What is sad, is that most of the God-fearing people voting for the rich and the Republican Party don't have a clue what's happening to middle America. Please click on the link under the picture "Money Drain," and it will describe how to get rich in four simple steps. Why the money is going to the rich and not to the rest of us.

Wow. This is so sad. I hope you aren't this cynical, Ron. Cause, I've been blessed beyond words by the kindness of others that I didn't deserve. But there was no con involved. Just humanity's decency and sincere love. Hopefully, I offer the same to others.
