Sweet seeds of greed are better left buried beneath the deep blue sea.Bernard Madoff you’ve been labeled “the thief of Wall Street” after stealing investments from pensioners, retirees, universities, charities, your sister and the elite.People realize that you were the devil in disguise.The man they once trusted is now hated and scorned for their lifetime savings are gone. Where was the SEC when all of this was happening?
The soul once called your own moans and groans as you face the fact of being locked up in a cell.This is now your hellhole after residing in a posh New York City penthouse, oceanfront properties in Montauk, Palm Beach and your French retreat.It’s up the creek to the big house. Bernard Madoff, you’re nothing but a louse.
You’ll never win with District Judge Denny Chin.He will not set you “free on bail” while awaiting sentencing.Your new home is the federal penitentiary surrounded by tall concrete walls.
How sweet are the seeds of greed?Green money was your honey.While others are peeved for what you’ve done to them, you seem quite relieved.Bernard Madoff, you used an old“Ponzi” scheme to steal investors’ pensions and dreams. Your former assistant has “spilled the beans.”
It’s too late to change or rearrange your selfish game.You cheated and stole fortunes from people with famous names.For the investors it’s been a nightmare.They thought you were treating them fair and square. Now your life is full of despair, gripes and a lonely plight.
Investors who yearned for high-yield returns from the Bernard Madoff investment firm had to sell their possessions. A lesson to learn before getting burned is for investors to watch every penny they earn.
Casting aside investors and friends to save the Madoff family is never a good remedy.Your wife, two sons, brother and other associates will also pay the price as justice strikes, including a crooked accountant you hired to cook the stock books. Your rich relatives are not thrilled they will be sued for $199 Mil.
The investors are in tears. Bernard Madoff why should your sentence be reduced to 12 years? Prosecutors want the maximum penalty of life in a federal penitentiary. Your possessions will be confiscated by a $171 billion dollar forfeiture court order.
Federal marshals boot Ruth Madoff, the poor little rich girl, out of her $7 million dollar luxurious upper East Side Manhattan penthouse taking Ruth and Bernie’s personal property. With just the clothes on Ruth’s back she was forced to leave her flat. Ruth gets off cheap by keeping $2.5 million. Like her husband, Ruth will grow old and frail, but avoids going to jail.
The Long Island beach house once owned by Ruth and Bernie Madoff, the louse, has been sold for $9.41 million to an undisclosed purchaser overwhelmed by the beautiful home and ocean view.
For around $8,9 million, Al Kahn the CEO of Pokemon and Cabbage Patch Kids buys Ruth and Bernie Madoff’s 4,000-square-foot luxury digs.
Bernard Madoff you gained a magnificent fortune of $65 billion while investors’ savings were drained.There is nothing left to the rest of your life, but damnation and shame. All the investors can do is file claims.
Sweet seeds of greed shall never set you free. This is your destiny, Bernie. On June 29, 2009, Judge Denny Chin sentenced Bernard Madoff, 71 years of age to 150 years in Butner, North Carolina Federal Correctional, a lifetime of sweat and tears. The victims cheered and sneered.
Now we hear that author and Madoff investor, Sheryl Weinstein, claims she had a 20-year secret love affair with the underhanded financier. He was Weinstein’s love machine. Her “tell-it-all” book describes how she got hooked on Bernie. Sheryl is sending a gift-wrapped signed copy to his jail cell. Bernie is not doing well. His victims could care less if he went to hell.
Madoff secretly financed drugs, sex and luxuries with investors’ money. Long-time friend, lawyer, accountant and associate of Madoff and family for some 20 years, Jeffry Picower who allegedly schemed to defraud billions of investors’ dollars suddenly passed away at age 67. This guy’s soul should not go to heaven. He was found drowned in his beautiful Palm Beach swimming pool. Picower and the rest of Madoff’s gang of crooks took every penny that investors put away for a rainy day.
Court-appointed trustee Irving Picard has been working hard. He’s been trying to recoup the billions of dollars taken by Madoff the schemer who ruined investors’ lifetime dreams.
Bernard Madoff’s long-time accountant in crime, David Friehling pleads guilty to robbing billions of investors’ money. This crook kept two sets of books.
Bernie’s two sons, Andrew and Mark, and his brother, Peter Madoff are under investigation by federal prosecutors for criminal tax-fraud evasion. They have been cooperating with authorities.
Members of Bernie’s family have got to be pissed. They filed court papers to have the $199 million dollar lawsuit dismissed.
Federal prosecutors have finally caught up with Madoff’s former operations boss. Daniel Bonventre was arrested on fraud charges for allegedly engaging in falsifying the company’s book entries which were reported to the SEC. He faces 20 years in the pokey.
The FBI in peace and war have caught two more crooks. Madoff’s top computer programmers were arrested at their homes for conspiring to falsifying the investment firm’s records and investment books.
This is great news for investors with the “Ponzi” blues. Bernie and Ruth Madoff’s personal “hot items” from a blue satin New York Mets baseball jacket engraved with Madoff’s surname to expensive dishes, diamond earrings, Hofstra college ring and Rolex watches, everything sold like gold for a whopping $1 Million on the NYC auction block.
This is not a “bunch of bull.” Once again the auction block rules. Bernie’s 55-foot “cream of the crop” fishing yacht, named “Bull” along with two smaller luxury yachts, “Sitting Bull” and “Little Bull” including a 61-foot yacht packed with luxuries that belonged to Madoff’s former CFO and a “1999 Mercedes Benz convertible” are headed lock, stock and barrel to the Florida auction block.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo takes the Bank of New York Mellon unit to court. He claims they knew about Bernie Madoff’s investment “Ponzi” schemes.
The end has come for Bernie the deceitful one. Bernard Madoff will not appeal his case. He’s decided to face the bitter disgrace. It’s about time he walked the line.
Ponzi schemers come and go, but Madoff knew how to put on a good show. He thought the investors would never know until one day they were hit with a devastating blow that Bernie took all their dough. In the end Bernard Madoff turned out to be the biggest con artist in U.S. history. Bernie says he took investment money off of people who were rich and greedy.
Lately Bernie a thieving sick “p – - – k” landed in the prison hospital. Does anyone give a shit?
We live in the age of school rampage where a student takes revenge on classmates, teachers and friends.He loads a gun and shoots everyone.Teachers and classmates hide and try to run, but they can’t get away from this son of a gun.When all is said and done the victims are gunned down one by one.The nation is stunned by this lone gunman.
We need a new set of rules in our schools.Teachers should pay more attention to these crazy fools.The school yard is no longer a peaceful playground; it’s now a bitter violent battleground.Classrooms are doomed for they have become the place where death looms.
When a student gets into mischief his life becomes twisted.Some children don’t know where to turn and have no desire to learn.They hide behind a mask in class.These creeps never speak.Their silence is a hidden violence.
A student with a borderline personality disorder can only lead to self-destruction and crime.When hate eventually becomes their fate, by then it’s too late.The stage is set for rage. Children can start at an early age.Rampage is more prevalent during teenage years.A teen tries to compete with his or her peers.They feel rejected and neglected.Family and friends are unaware that the child is in despair.An adolescent slips into an emotional state when there’s no child-parent relationship.As children get older they tend to be bolder.If parents and school counselors supported this troubled child properly there might not be a need for therapy.
Something should be done to stop these miserable son of a guns from loading up on ammunition and heading to their mission.

In a faraway land called Iraq soldiers fight and some will never come back. People suffer from tyranny and want to be free so they can live under democracy. It wasn’t too long ago that we fought for our freedom and rights toward a better way of life. This is the beginning of the war in the Iraq and one person’s story how he searched for peace with hope that the fighting would cease.
I roam this land from sea to sea searching for my destiny and wonder if there will ever be tranquility. Soldiers come in the middle of the night to fight and now what will happen to my life?
There is fear with shock and awe exploding everywhere. Terrorists are all around heading for safer ground. The road ahead terrifies me as I gather my belongings. The desert is dry and hot. It’s not the greatest spot. At night it’s cold and that’s when you’re bold. You yearn to be free and try to flee to another country.
Soldiers came in tanks and planes over the desert terrain.People surrender with white flags that look like rags.One never knows if they are friend or foe until the enemy strikes a blow. Our armed forces were sent to this foreign country to win a total victory.
Men and women fight, lose their lives, loved ones cried and the world sympathized.For these moments of peace have finally brought a new dawn to a country that shall never again have to mourn.
A new life for one nation unfolds.Now it will take on a whole different mold. People are set free to eventually live under democracy. We hope and pray that one day there will be everlasting peace in the middle east.
