Wheeler dealers - all the same
deception a lifelong tragic game,
your hopes and dreams go in their pot
they'll fleece you rotten
take whatever you've got.
No Christian ethics to stay their hand
they already own the promised land.
I got to know one only once
a ready fellow who staked his claim.
A chirpy wit
full of shit
he taught me much
with his Midas touch
never felt a sense of shame.
Nicely penned. Serious thoughts.
Hi Devon. You make a good point re sociopathy. Sociopaths are hot wired to exploit opportunities at any cost I believe, and so many make high positions in business. They are hard to control as they are often in control and can bite back!
Hi David. Thanks for your thoughts - I hesitated on putting Christian ethics in as it does have a sub text, it should have been in quotes really! Your observations are dead right - in rising up you need the reverse of a clear conscience, which is no conscience. Two powers are essential to the wheeler dealer - blinding confidence and a thick skin.
Thanks for stopping by Jon.
All the best, Ray

Ray,
I think these folks hold degrees in Sociopathy. Now I know that is not a word, but it should be, because they are well schooled in deceit and manipulation.
