Viewpoint Advantage

The Chosen Few who
Sit atop the throne
And smile down
Have a view


Of heads
And arms
And long noses


While those who
Look up from below
See more than
The Few do

Ewww, I would hate for anyone to see up my nose ... I'm so glad I'm not up there on the throne. This is excellent, Sharon. Well-thought out and written.
Love,
CJ

This poem is so true.

Depends on the heirarchy and architecture (pun intended). But most often what you say is right! I like the minimalist approach you have, and the power in these few words...

Is this why the mega-elite in business are always on the top floor?

I have found that those who make it to the top become targets for those who haven't, even though those who haven't are also trying to do so, and if they ever do, they too become targets for those who haven't. Seems like a catch-22 in ways. Perhaps it's just a war of attrition - snobbery vs. jealousy.

Now "the top" to me is a relative phrase. Depending on what one sees as success I would imagine. Looking down on anyone, no matter how much success you attain, is wrong.

Light and Wisdom ...

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
