Why fill a cup until it overflows?
Or grind a blade till it is dull again?

Yet the extremely wealthy go on and on,
pouring and grinding, spilling and dulling.

Ah yes, politicians and the rich...undeniably the elephant in the room in the U.S.

Can you say, "conflict of interest"? A concept long overlooked, uh...ignored and blatantly dismissed by our servants.

Ironic and absurd, but nothing new I suppose.

Love your artistic editorials Richard
