Sea of Bankruptcies

The only abilities they have and reflect,
Is administering a blinded selfishness.
They argue this in denial,
By protesting that their rights...
Have been infringed upon.
Their resumés are impressive.
With references to influence.
Although not one test of common sense,
Has been passed at all.
So those observing this...
Have had lifestyles that have been stalled.
And they represent the best intelligence,
Money can buy.
No wonder there is a sea of bankruptcies!
And a growing need of plastic surgeons.
These folks can't stand the sight,
Of what and who they really are!
And they are paying to remove their ugliness.
When it would have been better in retrospect...
If they had never came out of hiding from their crevices!
