The Wannabe Gods

With no good reason or excuse Billionaires waste wealth and let loose While earth goes awry They'll float on a fly by So Bezos can seem to be Zeus Author's comment: M I impressed? Not at all. It only goes to show what small minds they have. You couldn't pay me to go his rocket either--even if it is the best money can buy. What is wrong with these people?

I love this poem Duke - yes I saw them floating around like imbeciles - a media documentary. Nothing better to do with their money, they should visit Africa from North to South and give, give and give more and more. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

The rich are trying to inherit the world all for themselves without a care for the rest of us peons beneath them. They really suck. Good one, Duke.

That is what I believe as well. It’s not necessarily happening all at once, but that’s the freakin trend.

I ask myself that question, too, Duke. When they could spend their billions on say many beneficial ways, they fritter it away on wild pipedreams. I guess they plan to make money ferrying people up and back, but I won't be one of them. One of these days, one of those venture ships will explode and someone will lose their life for their folly. A prophesy!

Yes, I suspect that someone will make a mistake or something unknown will occur and cause a fatal even. There are instances where the very rich go to extremes and it kills them. Taking a helicopter ride to the top of a mountain for extreme skiing, for example, has certain risks in the going up and going down. It's crazy indeed!!
