Imagine a selfish and false old man.
His falsity began to grow in his teens,
because it paid off well
and he made his career in politics.
He devoted his life to promote
right-wing views,
competition, tax cuts for the rich
and restrictions on public expenditures
on the poor.
He had a trusting image and a winning
smile.
Now he sits in a wheelchair, in a
nursing home, staring out a window.
A faint odor of urine surrounds him.
Of course he regrets a few mistakes,
but on the whole, he is proud of himself.
He has done his bit for freedom and
democracy.
His children wish that he would die
soon.
They make courtesy visits and say nice
and polite phrases to him.
When he eventually passes away,
there will be an obituary filled with
bullshit in the local newspaper,
the priest will say nice things at the
funeraland the loved ones can finally relax.
