The Collared – haiku

In most countries, bank robbers attract 20 years to life.

The Wall Street crash ruined lives and continues to cause untold miseries for individuals and families – and not only in America. Yes, “untold” because it is not “news” anymore. Let us not lull ourselves into complacency.
