Structured Self Interest

The bigger the gain,
the more covert the lie
to sustain it has to be.
The better the lie works
the less that those
made to do without
know what previously
was rightfully theirs.

Dejavu For The Future

The future is going to be like the past-
there will always be those
who are going to be admired
as examples of behaviors
and ethics worth repeating,
the Ghandi's, Jesus's and Buddhas
to name a few, whilst they are unfollowable
(and they privately knew this at the time).
Time would deny the same scenes
repetition, by falsifying memory,
but time will always permit
false memories to tempt us....
