What did they have in common? Guess is yours so that you wouldn’t call me an iconoclast who wouldn’t dare to breach the moral high ground. Missing word is Greed associated with anger. They all were driven by the insatiable lust for power, elegantly coated with many jargons in the form of serving the poor, the nation, the country etc.etc.

Astoundingly, they all paid the supreme sacrifice driven by their craving for glory, once they held hard and fast with extreme pleasure and became mad when lost all but the sanity to realize the mortal danger it carried if not pursued with utmost vigilance. The ever patient merchant of death marked his time till they lowered their guard and precisely that’s what they did. At some stage all of them go blind and does the unthinkable.

Species of same ilk meet in their common abode. May they be happy in their chosen rest.

PS. Will others learn?
