Crumpled Deeds

settlers scammed
taken for coin
pilfered of land
slight handled folk
with streamline dreams
suspiciously bilked
seriously taken by
creased documents
soon to become
one more bargin baited
sucker in recovery  perhaps
cautiously re secured
as well

Yes thanks for reading Cat the fraud that preys on the housing

boom has not escaped my notice,sadly this has gone on since the early days of the Westward Expansion,Some justify what they do because,"People just want it quick and cheap.""Without all the assistants from an honest real estate,the guys that promise the smallest fees with the biggest projections seem to end up Front Page biz section these days,that is a good change.At one time real estate had a vested interest in media and such things where not good to print in the blotters.I think this will be a draft to expand upon,I could be clearer defined.
