Liquid Gold

In the mishmosh shop of slosh and slop  
Chris crossed paths, his cash crop flop  
Tick tock tick tock, ticks the ticking clock  
Pickpocketed by schemes of government shock  
   
Liquid gold in the cryptos gleam  
A fools gold dream in a shadowy scheme  
Bogus agendas in a masquerade  
Where fortunes fade in this charade parade  
   
Hush hush whispers in backroom deals  
Sleight of hand tricks in this spinning wheel  
A con man's grip in a tight lipped hold  
Liquid gold fortunes turns stories untold  
   
In the labyrinth of lies the truth unfolds  
A tale of riches in this liquid gold  
Through the maze of deceit shadows play  
The mishmosh shop where misfortune preys
