Insulation comes in many shades but
it has its start in a scheming mind well
schooled in the manipulative arts of
influence and fear-mongering. Its lessons
are manifold from lackeys anxious to
please in the performance of assigned
duties never questioning edicts that might
trouble the minds of others. Negotiating
skills to convince a populace of the assumed
popularity of the leader whose smiling
face and reptilian eyes mesmerize and inspire
fear. Insulation negates clarification for
mandates brook no hesitation and if the
vulgar forces of conflict intrude the quality
of propaganda stirs faith in national pride
prods youth to declare themselves prepared
to die. And they do. And their families mourn
yet refrain from posing what never occurs to
their minds steeped so deeply in admiration
for the leader astride a horse, muscular in his
ambitions, insulated from consequences.
