Someone Took the Money

Someone took the money,

That was supposed to buy the tools ,

To build the schools,

That would stop our youths from becoming fools.

Someone took the money,

That was supposed to pave the roads

To bring the jobs,

That would sate the mobs.

Someone took the money,

That was supposed to light our streets,

And ease the load,

Of investors wishing to turn cash to gold.

Someone took the money,

That was supposed to train the men,

To stop the bombs,

And terrorist guns.

Someone took the money,

Because they were too shortsighted,

To read the sign:

CONSEQUENCES CAN ONLY BE PUT OFF FOR A TIME.
