the insecure power

The only relationships that power-hungry/power-hoarding people have are with their enemies. Their lives are filled with imaginary friendships and short-lived alliances.
They spend most of their days thinking about ways to keep their 'power.'
Other days they devote their time scheming.
But almost always, they are alone.
When they are in their most desperate situation, they have no one to depend on. When somebody happens to be available, that 'somebody' is definitely someone who needs something in return.
