Flashback into time
but in measured slow motion
past scenes revisited
in controlled emotion-

the blind pursuit of success
without the least compassion
never an eye for the good of others
all was self-preservation-

'I have but you have not
I hold the superior position
you are left too far behind
while I ride high on massive acquisition'--

now the darkness of life and time
sets in without individual distinction
pride and pomp will take a back-seat
as even the most powerful are locked in self-isolation.
