Infamous Greed

His ship did not display skull and crossbones 
Yet he was a pirate just the same
Siphoning funds from the exploitable 
Hiding behind his cloak of fame
A confident stride and a charming smile
Was all that backed his assurances 
When all went down and fraud was found
He unwaveringly claimed innocence
Corporation thus seized
Bank accounts frozen
He boarded his ship 
And fled by ocean
With a stash of cash
He had stolen


This poem portrays a fictional character, addressing generally the corporate, political and religious greed of certain high powered individuals exploiting their communities. The featured photo is just a random shot of a man enjoying a nice day out on his boat.
