Does Not

There are certain people
Maybe more than few
Who thinks the world revolves around them

You often hear the rhetorical question
Do you think the world revolves around you?
And wonder what exactly prompted it

Usually it is the result of complaints
While in a group of two or more
Directed at the person complaining

About food
How it is not quite prepared right
For a paying customer

About a movie
How the plot was bad
Sound was poor
How it is not worth the money

Or just about anything for that matter 
Not quite satisfactory 
When majority doesn't seem to care 

It is a constant reaffirmation 
That the world certainly 
Does not 
Revolve around them

To Pay The Premium

Life insurance
Health insurance
Auto insurance
Home insurance
Disability insurance
Umbrella insurance
Flood insurance
Earthquake insurance
Career insurance
Mortgage insurance
Risk insurance

Insurance after insurance
All paid for by hard earned money

If there was an insurance for afterlife
That guarantees one will go to heaven
And not hell
Just in case they do really exist

People will pay millions
Or even billions to buy that insurance

But ironically the one insurance that
Guarantees eternal life in heaven
Is not for sale

And the more money one has
The harder it will be
To pay the premium

Very Bizarre Indeed

It is one thing to say you lost a golf ball
An errant shot into the bush
Hidden deep in the woods somewhere

But it is quite another to say you lost a jumbo jet
Flying through the radar net
And just disappear nowhere to be found

No debris whatsoever
Just pure speculation and presumption
To assume it crashed into the ocean

But unless the jet landed softly in one piece
All those seat cushions
Repeatedly proclaimed as flotation devices
Would have shown up somewhere by now

After over 40 days at sea
Someone or something would have floated somewhere
But nothing
Not a thing

And everyone just assumes the plane crashed
And search is on using sonars and submarines
Scouring the ocean floor

When not one shred of evidence proves
The airplane crashed

What if all this search is for a show
To mislead and cover up what really happened
To test the world of their technological might

How can anyone dispute any notion
That the plane never actually crashed anywhere
When all the hard evidence or lack thereof
Proves that there is no proof of crash

There are three equally plausible explanations
For a situation where a plane is missing

1. Someone stole the plane and hid it
2. The plane crashed into the ocean in one piece
3. The plane got destroyed in mid air and evaporated

A mystery they say
Only because they do not know what exactly happened
But planes do not just disappear
Without leaving a shred of evidence

If the plane is not found despite extensive search
It is not unreasonable to think
That someone or some nation is actively hiding it

Very bizarre indeed

There Is No Solution

It is unfathomable
How so many young students
Once alive on the boat
Suddenly lost their lives
When all of them
With proper instructions
Could have been saved
Lived to see their parents

Unavoidable deaths are certain
Accidents do happen

But stupidity has no place
To justify the loss

There is no forgiveness
For the fool
No cure for foolishness

The stupid
The proud
Who may or may not be
Intelligent
But a fool nonetheless

Total opposite of wise
And humble

There is no solution
Except time
That will end their days
On this planet

Where 1 + 1 = 2

It is a strange phenomenon
Where the equation of world economics
Based on mathematics
Is not based on 1 + 1 = 2
But rather 2 - 1 = 1

It is based solely on subtraction
Taking money away
From consumers

This negative drive
Requires constant addition of funds
To the world economics bottom line
As rich get richer
And poor gets poorer

The only way to solve
World poverty and hunger
Is to base the world economics
Where 1 + 1 = 2
