Barclays Bank Tightened Its Belt
Barclays
Bank
tightened
its belt
only paid out
£3.4 billion
in staff bonuses
down 7.0 percent
compared
with 2009
we salute
severity
of Barclay’s
noble sacrifice
as bad debts
fell dramatically.
Barclays cut
its staff bonuses
in line with
a government
brokered deal?
Prime Minister
David Cameron's
official spokesman
rumoured
to have received
a nice back
hander
' declined
to comment
on Barclays'
remuneration,
telling reporters:
'Clearly, Barclays'
pay policy
is ultimately
a matter
for them
and their
board.' '
Thank God for
government-brokered
deal to clamp down
on excessive pay?
Sly Barclays' Bank
pulled the wool
over public eyes
played shell game.
Thimblerig, Three shells
and a pea quick follow
swift hidden bonuses.
How was sly money paid?
“Finance minister George
Osborne said total bonuses
paid to British-based staff
of the biggest banks would
be lower than last year
as part of Project Merlin,
brokered after weeks
of talks with the Conservative
-led coalition. '
Therefore how
did sneaky Barclays
increase bonuses?
Twas slight of hand
twas slight of hand
exclaimed shiny Bob
Diamond leading band.
Watch staff bonuses
down 7.0 percent
but yes yes yes yes
total pay rose a quarter
' as this included
payments deferred
during the global
financial crisis. '
' Explaining the cut
in Barclays' bonus pot,
Diamond said:
'We are committed
to demonstrating
that we are both
responsible in our
compensation
decisions and
practices and
that we take our
regulatory
obligations and
UK government
commitments
seriously. ' Really!
American Diamond
chief executive
of Barclay’s
is infamous in Britain
' for pocketing
huge bonuses
as head of
Barclays' highly
successful investment
banking division. '
Bobby Diamond pocketed
a 9 million pounds bonus?
I say average pay
at Barclays Capital
rose from £191,000
to £236,000; does
this not rather
made a 'mockery'
of the so-called
Project Merlin?
Poor staff only
£45,000 extra
read all about it
its true its true!
Twas British families
living on ten pound
a day I rue I rue I rue.
Mere £3,650 a year
I fear I fear for their
children living in
severe poverty oh dear.
Project Merlin
is Project Miracle
for fat cat bankers
lapping up all de
cream but David
Cameron canna see
past his nose canna
see big bonuses for
irresponsible bankers
fiddling file figures is
unacceptable immoral
in moral English society
poor anger will cad rub.

Tis In The Power Of Money
'Tis in the power of money real fame is to be found
And money is always involved where corruption abound
And corruption and human greed to each other live nearby
And why some people are corrupt this could be the answer why
Some will tell you that money is their nearest and dearest friend
And it is because of money that many friendships are known to end
And many with lots of money seem to have a crave for more
This year they have made two million in profit next year they aim for four
The lust for paper currency to everyone does not apply
But that money speaks every language is something that none can deny
Those with it are looked up to and those without it on are looked down
And who would wish for to be known as the pauper of the town
'Tis the lust for money that leads to corruption through greed
And those with plenty of it looked up to as those who in life succeed.

Peace Peace Is Needed!
“Pray for all nations,
think of what is needed.”
Peace Peace is needed!
A war on terror
is a mandate to war.
So much profit
in war industry
but to make this profit
you need a war.
What politician wants to kill
a million dollar a minute industry?
Peace Peace is needed!
To profit from this greed
this suffering is to serve
Babylon The Great
that Satanic harlot and whore
for nations drunk
on the wine of the anger
of her fornication
must surely include a love of war!
Vast money you spent
in destruction you rent
could not a little more
have been spent on our poor?
To drill a few more wells
to provide clean water?
So African child
died not of thirst
swollen belly starvation...
have a little pity
you master engineers
engineering your profit wars...
have pity upon
nations you exploit
earth’s global poor...
vast fortunes amassed
fortunes you cannot spent
in four hundred lifetimes...
pointless profit
never forget
born with nothing...
and you will
leave with nothing
except soul ripe...
for a final accounting
a last judgement
where your rules profit...
mean absolutely nothing
where you will be judged
held individually accountable...
by a Prince of Peace.

Your Boom, My Bust
So the he said
'Tell me capitalist
what is profit? '
He said
profit is what I earn
when I sell something for more than it is worth,
it is a reward for my effort.'
Ah, I said, if everyone did that
then the price of an object would
keep going up forever
since each person in the chain
would want their profft
and finally, the price would be so high
nobody could afford to buy
what the capitalist had to sell
and then we would all be in poverty
the last capitalist
would be the only one left with money
enough to buy up our properties
since the price would have dropped
because nobody could afford to pay
and in the end
the richest capitalist
would be the only one standing
and would own everything
while everyone else would have to sell everything to him
because all of the rest of us would be too poor
to pay the high prices its costs to live.
Sell something for more than it is really worth
on the grounds that a profit must be made
leads to disasters, and boom and bust.
Hello Wall Street.
And by the way
if everyone loses everything
who had the money to buy
it all up?
Hello Wall Street.

$$$$ and Some Change
Teasing the populace
A few in the acropolis lean back and forth
To a new opulent apocalypse
Profit margins monstrous
Changes lives to hieroglyphs
And knowledge sits in a store
At half price in obelisks
When you buy a novelist a silver spoon or a fork
-If it used to be familiar but now looks so strange
It’s just a side effect of money and some change
Money is a gossip kit
Its essence has a presence that screams
With glee while remaining ominous
Keeps the poor anonymous
Makes and breaks the politics
In any scene you can dream
It’s waiting on new hostages
Colored pink, purple, mellow yellow, blue or green
-If it used to be familiar but now looks so strange
It’s just a side effect of money and some change
Money finds new relatives
Money boosts the memory
Money heightens sensory
Money is a sedative
Money makes good company
Money lives so comfortably
Never gives and never needs any kind of reason
Never free but always free in and out of every season

Money And Profit
what it comes down to
...in the end is...
the political machine,
...be it Democrat,
.....or Republican,
runs on the wheels
...of money and profit!
they'll throw a bone to the poor,
........now and then,
wave issues like flags,
....quote the founding fathers
.......when it behooves them.
but in the end.....

I Don’t Want

I Want To

Looks Good but what’s that.
Six Foot under Potato Patch.
Copyright © Terence George Craddock
This poem reflects reported media concern with regard to vehicle safety standards, during the period of its composition in April 1991, over the safety of Japanese’s cars when crashing on New Zealand roads. Design adaptations to suit the demands of kiwi roads and driving habits solved these problems and Japanese cars soon dominated the market. Japanese vans were an even greater danger with unprotected support when rolling and were recalled and redesigned. See also ‘Responsibility In The Workforce’, ‘The Art Of Gift Giving’ and ‘The Art Of Word to gain a realistic insight into true Japanese sense and sensibility.
