Alas - Αλίμονο Poem by Kostas Lagos

I very poignant poem, a hubris lesson in putting too much power, in the hands of those unfit to lead, or incapable of leading well, to the level a country or nation leads. Shakespeare both taught and warned of this in his play 'King Lear'. It is good to read Kostas, a simple needed direct to the point poem, addressing a simple causes a simple solution.

I completely agree with the thoughts projected through this poem, Kostas. A proud man aspiring for wealth and status always, is a complete idiot. I enjoyed the style and framework of the poem as well.

Great satire on politicians. They are greedy, liars and what not. Nice one my friend.5*

Self pride leads to self disaster. Brilliant
