Alpha Predator

<div class="paragraphs"><p>Image used for representational purposes.</p></div>

The blueprint of primal survival:

relentless aggression. The big fish

swallows the little fish, again and again

for limits there are none. Eliminating

challengers and opponents in a ruthless

blueprint of conquest. There is nothing

subtle in the process and progress that

averted eyes and quiet horror cannot

identify hoping to be spared for none 

are, in the relentless drive to absorb

territory and resources sowing trepidation

and fear the better to silence critics

fearing their turn. Silent cunning with

its power screened by an inscrutable

rictus of expressionless patience the grim

colossus moves with stealth and diminishing

caution in lock-step with success while

trembling victims appeal to those not yet

imprisoned in the embrace of the tyrant

to help, though they extended no aid to

others earlier captured in the fine steel net of

the predator's ingathering subjection of

one hapless, helpless nation after another

all destined to become satellites of China.
