Me…Me…Me…

Who cares
if the earth
survives,
who cares
if other people
can afford
the essentials,
who cares
if scores die…
as long as
I get
all the
attention,
all the
adulation —
even if fake,
claps are claps —
as long as
I get it all,
the world
can be
consumed…
who cares
shrugs

Inspired by exasperation at the reactions of some local and global leaders whose egos are so big, a horse with blinders seems to have a 360 degree view.
