He had several Ivy League
University Degrees, lived a
long life, traveled, had three
ex-wives, no kids, no dog,
big house, Cadillac car with
low miles. Bragged he was
always well informed, he knew
it all and would pontificate
as much at the drop of a hat.

He liked to boast that
he never voted in any
election. Waste of time
or so he maintained.
Though he did gift large
sums of money to certain
political candidates, that
in return would do him
certain business favors.

He died alone in his recliner
chair with the TV remote
in his hand. In the end that
was his only friend and
social connection. It was
avarice and ignorance that
did him in. A terminal disease
of his soul that neutered his
humanity.
