The primitive brain knows the stratagem
that nature engineered into the DNA of
her creatures and so the frail vulnerable of
her creatures are small, instinct instructing them
to a discreet presence in contrast to the brash
largely aggressive creatures as born predators.
The human race with its superior comprehension
knows that in animal confrontations the object
is to signal an antagonist creature the advantage
of size, so a bear stands upright and bellows.
Humankind too acknowledges size; the larger
the explosive device the more threat it is of
maximum damage. Antagonistic nations develop
weapons of massive destruction as deterrence
then conduct 'tests' whose performance acts as
that bellowing bear. Responding antagonists run
war games deploying unified weapons of war to
counter the initiator whose neurosis of paranoia
demands ever more advanced weapons in a theatre
of mass psychosis, the endless cycle of threat and
response that will erupt into perilous chaos.
