You Would Think....

You would think that
the true greatness of mankind
would be to assist and promote
the greatness of others....

But...the overinflated ego
deflates, with it's superimposed image...
squezzing out the last ounce of fortune
to feed it's own hunger and thirst
......for power,
where it finds itself 
surrounded by the powerless,where
it finds itself now,most powerful...

You would think that
true greatness,is in the support of...
versus the comparitive opposite

You would think.....?

Jay I reckon so - Once again your few choice words say more than most folks pages and pages - Loved the beginning and loved the end even more - I like the way you plant a seed of thought and the allow the reader to let it grow - You are a gift my friend - God Bless
