Top 10% of the 1% or Two

So you have all this money, now what to do you top 10% of the 1% or two.

I can see you buying mega yachts watching mega movies on your mega laptops.

Then I see you buying disease, buying suffering, buying my life away and all those with whom I play.

They see red when I mention you; the top 10% of the 1% or two.

You were clever enough to steal and lie and cheat your way to the top.

But instead of growing up you just couldn’t stop.

I feel sad when I think of you, the top 10% of the 1% or two.

Because when you die you will have prolonged evolving without love, without empathy, without the stuff that fuels society.

Only sadness and pain can come from the top 10% of the 1% or two.

So how will you feel, if anything at all, when that stolen wealth brings down everyone including yourself to an astronomic fall.
