A follow up of the last one, this concept of business as usual, don't rock the boat, keep feeding them pablum satisfies those babies among us that just need their tummy full right now, no matter if Mommy is dying right their and then. "Momma Earth that is" those self serving nerds, don't give leadership, just always the same in a different package We need courages forward looking leaders, that will at all costs take the bull by the horn, and if in a democracy your voters don't like it, at least you have told them the ultimate truth, it can't go on like this, things all business, education, and live on this planet has to dramatically readjust, is anyone up there listening, has anyone up there got what it takes, has the general public? No wonder so many drowned when Noah build the arc, they did'nt listen either, or only to those that said the things they wanted to hear.......

 

 
To kill the golden goose.
 
Some greedy tycoons thought themselves clever,
That their greedy boom would last forever,
You’d think their smarts, so extensively cuddled,
Could have all these years, have only muddled,
Through forward thinking and the like,
Should have seen the coming spike,
But voracious greed, and ego Olympics,
Now puts everyone into the pits,
The same group of fossilized gorillas,
Yet still live in their stolen villas,
The same group who’d fight for moneys sake,
And put our planet to the stake,
And those in office who follow their lead,
All take us down a wrong turn with so much speed,
Soon it won’t be just the ones that build the hummer,
But all those that can’t see ahead, isn’t that a bummer,
Some so called brilliant minds of commerce,
Very few, of new and better adjustments could coerce,
Just do and greed, the more the better they could see,
To record their stupidity on paper killed every tree,
And every bird therein and creature small,
To have new parking lots and mall,
What lamentable collective nerds they are,
To leave our children such a scaring scar,
To them our leaders listened, not one said no,
Just moved their votes from here to fro,
But Harvard can not make a Lincoln, or a Winnie,
They’re born, with honesty and courage, fear not to tell the skinny
 
No mealy mouthed speeches they preferred,
Sacrifice and moral need you heard,
And those that born of steel,
With courage took the wheel,
Did what needed doing, not looking dread behind,
My friend Bismarck was that kind,
For the greater good of all,
They the standard did install,
Moses did not beg to stay,
And from future battles sway,
Ahead they looked through sea and storm,
Brave and honest character their norm,
The selfish barons of today,
Be they of politics or commerce sway,
With their greed for more and more so bend,
Have all their credibility and good will now spend.

What lamentable collective nerds they are,
To leave our children such a scaring scar

And their atrocities against Mother grow greater every day. Yet, few seem to even care anymore what we will be leaving to our children. So very, very sad.

Yes, they will kill every tree to record on paper their stupidity, one need to wonder how a clever selfmade from nothing to a millionaire can be so stupid, but maybe they aren't stupid, they are just imbecile savants, good for to do one thing only, again and again.
Making money while drooling with an unhumorous laugh.

Lots to think about and ponder in this one.

Tis a sad state of affairs, agreed. Perhaps out of the ashes such a leader will arise, then balance we will have....

Be always safe,
Karen
