Greed: the curse of the world!

"

By Stanley Collymore

 

Death has its own characteristic methods and distinctive

means of doing things and achieving whatever it wants,

and simply doesn’t care whether or not its specifically

targeted acquisitions, mutually or else unilaterally

acquired, actually pleases anyone or, more likely

than not, doesn’t. So it’s utterly pointless then

for any one either to waste time obsessively

conjecturing about the inevitable, stupidly

assume they can indefinitely postpone

the inescapable or, for that matter, deem they’re capable

of successfully challenging the unavoidable. Yet the

inevitability of these indisputable truths constantly

fails to register with the coterie of obsessively

grasping, persistently warmongering and the

purblind, lunatic well-heeled class; their

similarly greedy, likeminded, wholly

uncontrolled, unconscionable and

biddable surrogates ceaselessly

ready and willing not only to

indulge but also fervently

implement every aspect

of their demonstrably

odious shenanigans

and the dishonest

artifices which

they forever

safeguard

in mind.

 

And all this reinforced by the pathetic and toadying actions

of the dim-witted, thoroughly indoctrinated, absolutely

class conscious subjugated, aspirant social climbing

and easily manipulated Plebeian masses, and all of

whom are conjoined in a self-delusional pact that

is patently oblivious to the fact that none of this

either makes any sense whatsoever to rational

human beings, or more profoundly in this

ludicrous equation that’s being proffered

that the Grim Reaper whose call it is and always was

doesn’t really give a toss what any of these utterly

self-delusional berks are up to when he regards

the time is appropriate to act; and significantly

is also totally aware, even if they aren’t, that

there’s absolutely nothing any of them or

the wealth which they’ve vaingloriously

accumulated can do �"in terms that are

either clearly implausibly concrete

or plausibly negligible �" to stave

off in any conceivable manner

what incontrovertibly will be

for each and every one of

them, and noticeably so,

the closing chapter and,

moreover, a manifestly

for all those involved

in this rather odious

and grasping trend

an ineluctable and

most proper end!

Author’s Remarks:

Man’s inhumanity to man is ever prevalent on a daily basis and money compounded by the obsessive pursuit of it at any cost and no matter who is dismissively and uncaringly trampled over in the process to acquire it and regardless of the means employed to get it, or how many will go hungry, homeless, be abandoned or actually die in self-serving and wholly unwarranted wars to satisfy the incessant avarice of those for whom it’s not only their sole raison d’être for existing but also their omnipotent god and just goes to show how deep the abyss of depravity is that now enfolds so many of human kind.

 

And who in their grotesque and obsessive greed noticeably and unfalteringly conjoined with their purblind stupidity and a shocking proclivity for ceaselessly repeating the same mistakes render them to be nothing more than brainless automatons that don’t seem to have even grasped the idea that for all their nefarious schemes and intrigues they’ve no choice but to exit this world, when the Grim Reaper dispassionately uses his scythe to effectively mow them down, as they initially arrived in it. In other words, with absolutely nothing; for not an iota of what they spent their pathetic lives cruelly and graspingly garnering, to the gross disadvantage of others, can they take with them; and all dead bodies whether of the poor or the rich, unless cremated, ultimately rot and smell the same. Worth thinking about!
