Out of the million aspirants
only three are ruling this world. How come the rest cann't make to the top leadership posts. The paradox is:
Who has shaped the world into this strange order. And to make a change, where do we begin?
The three are:
One who has his mind
inside his throat.
Who aims only to be rich
One who has his heart
galvanized with hatred.
Who aims only to take revenge
One who has his reputation
cracked with blasts of acrimony
Who only knows how to make speeches

Abdi, you have spoken wisely! This is an unholy trinity!
I hate to say the people get what they deserve, but in
the case of America where the populace has the ability
to know better, we have done nothing to make the changes
