what the paper said

What the paper said

A newspaper I sometimes read is not happy
that billionaires dabble in politics 
the paper is partly right; especially if the rich 
The person who thinks about it is not liberal.
People who are successful in relative youth
tend to inflate their importance, ask what
do I know how to fill my time in service to my
country, even though they know it is about
themselves and well-being to use their 
business acumen to benefit for the state 
and at the same time, give them importance  
on an international level 
Sigh a mogul is not an intellectual, his vision
is narrowed as his business  talent that does
not include the mass of people who might 
have other interests,  say about quality and
social issues that have no visible outcome
but nevertheless benefit those who are of 
a modest talent
A billionaire should not brush them off as a
hindrance to their view, life is more than 
running a factory and meeting people who 
are in awe of the wealth
