This is what happens when men of straw are tolerated in the corridors of power. When "the people" , instead if asserting their rights , descend into servile sycophancy ..and it is just beginning!
Although the author of this very plausible story may be another thief in waiting, the fact that the story is likely true is saddening enough. And what happens after they grab it all.....? Nothing.
This is why many can only wait till that day........very soon the people will awaken from their slumber. Very soon they will stop calling the oxen "uncle, daddy,broda" because they want to eat beef...very soon the rogues will go the way of all rogues - with unfullfilled ambitions and a cursed legacy- but then the poor, impoverished sould will continue to lack...unless they rise up.
