The world has always been a
disorderly place of fraught existence
though never without the wisdom
of the few whose advice to overcome
human prejudice, perfidy and vice
has withstood the ages in the naivete
but simple solution inherent in
'do unto others'. Misfortune lies in
the propensity of those in command
of authority doing unto others what
they know cannot be done to them. In
self defence from the venom of the
predators those imbued with decency
and a sense of justice implore the world
to value order and good government
while the rogues wielding power over
the oppressed sneer as they collude to
reign supreme in a tangle of disorder
and tyranny, daring their targets to
unseat them from power, progressively
surrounding themselves with lickspittle
regimes eager to curry favour careless
of the likelihood of the weapons of mass
destruction aimed at opponents may one
day be turned on them, groaning under
a dictatorship too onerous to bear.
