Enigmatically Transparent

Modern day pharaohs stand behind oak podiums upon silver pedestals that keep them just out of reach, to serve as an inspiration for those interested in so called service. Money changers crowd the room, buying up the airwaves until there's no more space to breath. Bleeding hearts and staunch denialists pretend to have a say even as environmental disasters prove everyone else right and unnecessary institutions shed even less light on what is left of the few bright lit corners.
