Money is a tinpot god, it rules the lives of many,
and yet the world is full of those who really haven't any.
The Japanese tsunami left chaos in its wake.
Now homeless, jobless people have hearts near fit to break;
many still owe mortgages on houses that are gone.
How will they buy another? What is to be done?
It's money rules, not common sense
when people have to live in tents
and know their old life's washed away...
Yet they survive another day...

Tsunami aftermath in Japan

Raven youths who rove in gangs,
the Boffins now have found,
have hormone levels raised by stress!
A surprise, I'll be bound!

It used to be the theory
that Mums and Dads in pairs
had the hardest tasks of all,
defending what was theirs.

But Raven Ravers in their gangs
although they share their food,
are worse off than the families
who decide to raise a brood

and choose a life long partner.
It now seems that is best
for more harmonious living's
found inside the family nest!
