Maxims

In life we never own,
we only rent or loan
and all worldly gain
is in the end in vain...

With procrastination
one has no future
except stagnation...

F0rget the yesterdays,
don't live for the morrow,
just grab the moment
to avoid sorrow...

What we love today,
we may hate tomorrow
for today's pleasures
may soon turn to sorrow...

One's happy outer shell
may hide an inner hell...

The good and pliable
are in today's society
not very viable...

An unrealized scheme
remains an empty dream...

A king once said it well,
once I am gone
this world can go to hell...

People live on the credit card
in a dream world - quite apart,
then they declare bankruptcy
with Uncle Sam paying the stimuli,
printing an infinite money supply
which may make the wobbly dollar die...

In a predatory world
where sharks eat little fish,
morality is but an idle wish...

The Second World War
improved the economy - by far
which leads one to the conclusion
the cure for a worldwide depression
a major war maybe the best solution,
besides it purges each nation
of threatening overpopulation...

Don't put on others the blame
if you ruined your own game...

Today - enjoy your fame,
for on the morrow
they'll forget your name...
