Beaming Champions

Surrounding themselves
with experts, advisers
although they already know,
not seeking the best solution
but victory.

Not a victory
that is best for all
but one
that is best for them.

Driven by self-interest, selfishness, greed,
the need for power and admiration,
standing in the light of the world,
they invite only those
whose voices praise them.

Leaving the others outside,
making their words unheard,
lest what they have to say
be troublesome.

Only wanting to hear and see
what fits in their world,
the world of their victory.
