Pathetic Emperors of Greed
Within the preposterous shadow of
accumulated wealth
these two bit emperors
surrounded by their phalanx of
bodyguards and
sycophants ever ready with
meaningless phrases and shallow praise,
inject their toxic venom into the
public space to perpetually remind us all
of the rarified space they occupy.
From shallow mind to
slimy tongue
they elaborate lies
implausible fictions
deleterious conclusions
based upon nothing of substance,
designed to foster hatred
upset balance
incite confusion
incite turmoil.
These preposterous idiots
enamored of themselves
forever admiring their
reflections in silver mirrors
their constant companions,
bathing in their own stupidity,
emersed in the chaos they engender,
murdering empathy
compassion and
the common good
with utmost precision,
suggesting violence,
inciting hatred in
confused minds.
These pathetic emperors
of their shallow kingdoms,
embrace an image of themselves
within their tortured and
infantile minds,
without real substance
frantically attempting to
smother their desperate aloneness,
and the perpetual fear of their
monumental inadequacies.
These pathetic emperors of greed
steeped in the fallacy of their
exaggerated importance
carry the insatiable urge
to constantly remind us all of their
inspired presence,
like hapless juveniles they
insinuate themselves into the public space.
Like all the petty tyrants that
preceded them
they demand unequivocal attention
threaten the peace and
should be thoroughly and completely ignored.
