the war of the egos and the liabilities. martin, do you really care?
notes: created by diyana khazali, martin is a special man with a special rich man culture. but he realizes that the question of capital is better be left unanswered.
put it in the past:
those opposed stood up to make their points, while those in favour sat quietly, relying on every words came out from the bourgeoisies, upholding their side of the case. some who spoke raised the notion of privacy, right and liberty. few wanted to proclaim to the outside world how much they gained, how much money they made. they operated under the veil of secrecy aroused by the personality conflicts and the so-called modern lifestyle featured in glossy magazines complete with pictures of undeniably luxurious homes and the wall street ethos.
i put it in the present:
it is all about money man. damn.
still in the present:
money is everything. simple but meaningful. light but beautiful. you are so charming when it is full. without it you dull. (you can rap if you want)
with the rewards from considerable risks. all people, regardless of their stake, left the bulk of each year's earnings due to maintain its special culture. the culture which makes the people stare in amazement. on the face of it the issue seemed to have pitted brother against brother. but after martin spoke, it was all over. no vote was ever taken.
richie culture is being taken seriously on the street. brains are not enough. showing your big hot mama bottoms is also not enough. you hot? nahhh...NOT ENOUGH!. it is a grueling process that tests endurance as well as aptitude and those who do not evince a scorching ambition, total commitment and inclination for teamwork are quickly weeded out. martin said, " if you can't sublimate your ego or work with other, you have a problem of gaining the capital. you will only have your own Bentley after the jaws stop eating humans". here, rugged individualism has no place. the men who put those deals together will become a public personality and gives the wall street its glamorous. it shouted, " be a contributor! not merely an employee or a participator goddamn it!". simply doing the job you are hired to do is not enough. more than that. it takes more. really. more.
martin is determined and his interests more nakedly commercial. he regularly reminds himself that 'money is always fashionable. no seasoned element in it and no expiry date'. thus, it keeps come and go and never stop flowing. he is ambitious and do little to promote his philosophy because he tend not to share his glory. he has a box at the opera and enjoys music. he recalled, " i rebuilt what has collapsed. so that today i can say, that's been my satisfaction in life and it worths more than dollars. other people may be a great deal richer than i am but that's, to my way of thinking, is unimportant as long as the liabilities has been paid off."
finally, martin got his own Bentley and the jaws still eating humans more aggressively.
i'm glad that martin is happy and martin is glad that i created him happily.
(no rap here)
p/s: a piece of honest advise from diyana khazali...
ego, arrogance, a sense of self-importance, if you allow them to develop. that's when you fall off the track.
