The Oligarch

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely! The pursuit of these goals twist, contorts and disfigures the very essence and being of the person who is doing the seeking. They are unaware of their disfigurement and cannot see it even when they look into a mirror. They are blinded by the very thing that they are pursuing. They are trying to reach the top of their ladder of success. They will allow nothing to keep them from reaching the top and will destroy all that get in their way. It is a very sad endeavor they are undertaking, trying to reach the top of the ladder of success, only to find out that they were on the wrong wall to begin with. visionary imagist "Joey"

yes ive met some of these people who had a good side but, greed takes over and, they do things that hurt others just for the sake of money

Artist Reply: L.A.: Money itself is neither bad or good. it is just a commodity to be employed and used prudently and judiciously. thanks again for your wise insights.
