This is not a political statement. It's a statement of the sociopathic nature of greed. Rethink who you believe and why.

Grifters © ABC News Drifters, Grifters and Shifters They are all around us, don'cha you know. Swooping in fast, or, sneaking in slow. Drifters who come into our lives, and then disappear from view. No one knows where they go, whether they are plenty or few. Grifters are a shaky lot we know, finding ways to live off the fat. Shaking us down without a clue, skimming us this way and that. Shifters come shaped in all sizes. They wear many hats to serve. Wear hats too big for their heads, only because they have the nerve. Beware of these fellows of, good fortune and for our behalf. They'll take us for dupes in an instant, as they disappear with a laugh. Copyright 2022 © Ronald W. Hull 11/23/22 You can read and print this poem here at my website.

Yes! You have them "pegged" accurately, Ron. And you offer wise advice: Avoid at all costs "drifters, grifters, and shifters" but be aware that they are there. All the best to you,

I'm a lifelong conservative and the poem doesn't bother me at all; as you are entitled to your opinion. If you lose some friends over it, they wasn't your friends in the first place and you are better off without them.

I agree with Mark. THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!!

Trump is the BEST PRESIDENT, ever! And I hope he wins!!! You don't get paid for defaming him and his family. You only lose your friends.

Well composed. Tight and in a rhythmic balance.

Having spent many a year in the vortex of drifters grifters and shifters I can thoroughly condone your romp through the malaise of untruthful presence. Well said and entertaining.
