People like Donald Trump
cannot comprehend the reality 
of restraints, confinements and limitations.
To them, money can solve any problem,
and they buy/threaten/force/coerce/extort
themselves to whatever they want.

Well. Money can't buy weather.
Or shutdown volcanoes.
And paying our enemies to not attack us
has not worked for anyone throughout time. 
There is a limit as to what money can do.

But limits don't sit well with Donald Trump.
He takes to yelling a lot
and telling people, "You're fired!"
As if that can keep the oceans from rising
and the desert from taking over Texas.

Better for us all to learn to take "NO!"
for an answer,
and live with what needs to be lived with
for the true good of all.

If sound advice could be heard and applied
by those with a will to power and control,
the world would be a safer, saner place
for all through time.

It isn't that we don't know 
how life should be lived.
It is that we don't care for anything,
anyone, other than ourselves--
as in the story of the Garden of Eden.
The theme of the ages,
apparent from the beginning.
