PLAYERS

Show me the money
At any cost
I’ll put up the bounty
I won’t take a loss.

The market incentive
To make the next trade
No need for a life vest
No need to be saved.

Always ahead
Proceed without shame
Plotting and planning
The name of the game.

I’ll  take the credit
Untold admiration
Fuel for the fire
No false expectations.

So easy to do
A quick slight of hand
No one is the wiser
They’ll follow the plan.

A robber, a thief
A wolf in sheep’s clothes
No one will question
No one even knows.

It’s money that matters
All things can be bought
Players will win
And never get caught.
