He is a victim of the infamous sub-prime <br />More by default than by design <br />He kept lending money and more money <br />At interest rates that were not funny <br />Revenues seemed to be accruing <br />No one sensed the trouble brewing <br />And they egged him on - his bosses <br />But that was way before the losses <br />Now he faces a court of enquiry <br />To establish that he acted without authority <br />By throwing caution to the wind <br />While granting loans he could not rescind <br />But no one, least of all his bosses will admit <br />That driven by greed they too did covertly commit <br />The company's precious resources to NINJAs <br />The guys with no income, no jobs and no assets <br />Now, he can only hope that the court will reveal <br />What his bosses have sought to conceal<br /><br />Sandra Martyres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sub-prime/
