He had several 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, knew it all.
He liked to boast that
he never voted in any
election. Waste of time
or so he maintained.
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
ignorance that did him in.
A man of few principles, made
his money off the sweat of other
people he considered beneath
him, seldom did a good deed.
Barren of love or consideration
for his fellow humans, he was and
remained self-absorbed to the extreme.
He had missed the point, that
"No man is an Island."
English Poet John Donne 1624
a man that got the point and
wrote it down, 400 years ago.
