They don't become as wealthy, but that doesn't stop them from trying as best they can to assist, invest and profit in the machinations of death.

The corporate warmongers & death merchants swim in our world like a great shark gobbling up the slow, weak & sick. While so many cling to the sides of them like cleaner fish. Picking out the leftovers, gobbling up the shit and foulness that gets stuck to them. Ensuring the shark remains in peak killing form.


"They have nothing of harm to dread,
But liquidly glide on his ghastly flank
Or before his Gorgonian head;
Or lurk in the port of serrated teeth
In white triple tiers of glittering gates,
And there find a haven when peril 's abroad,
An asylum in jaws of the Fates!"
