Rags To Riches And Back
HUBRIS CONTEST:
Mr. X fell. How badly?
Initially, he didn’t know. He continued contriving grandiose schemes. To deceive and conquer. Gain at the loss of others.
Friends he once had dwindled to one. They witnessed him gloating. How he went from rags to riches, increasing net worth “like no one else.”
Until the world sank into monetary collapse.
His temper shot up. Those he benefited from abandoned positions of his corporate ladder. He maintained headstrong in his quest of greatness, overriding those needing assistance.
Indeed, Mr. X fell. Sad thing, he had no clue how to rise.
Nor do others marked ‘X.’
