To some people life is a game
with them everything is just the same
all they seek is nothing but wealth
even if they are at the risk of poor health

They travel mile after mile
though it may take them a while
putting up a gleeful laugh
as they journey through life

With boldness in their heart
looking dressed neat and smart
gifted in the art of trade
gracefully they record what they have made

Standing beside the silver gate
hoping for a conniving mate
armed with a scribblers' pen
luring victims one out of every ten

From side to side they sway
meditating on what to say
giving tales of precious jewelries
obtained with hard earned salaries

Saddled with the fate of pain
just for the sake of a diabolic gain
having expressions so obvious
inflicts mankind with pain so grievous

After a furious fight
leaving behind a bloody sight
consuming strength and finance
they gaze with victory's stance
from life's enviable height.
