Being Broke

An out-of-money experience
Is almost like existing without an essence
This period is one so awful
No money, no elation, just doleful

The money in your bank is broke
The money in your hand is nil
Who to call that is not broke?
Who would give without being left nil?

One too many is the responsibility
One too many is the workload
Little to nothing is the payload
Little to nothing is the mobility

A sluggard off another's dough thrives all good
A bilker thru' bilkering gets all rich good
He, a worker, gets less luck and cash at a distant range
Why should this be? he finds so strange

Should the reward for a scammer be being rich?
The scammer ought not remain being rich
Should the reward for a worker be being broke?
The worker ought not remain being broke
