When Did You Want To Be Frightened?

The bigger the scale of an operation
the bigger the scale for potential error,
except where the deal is 'too big to fail'
at which point the terror hits
when everything else fails first.

Morality And Gloating

Speaking from a privileged position
often turns into gloating, and it happens
when the speaker is unaware
of both the depth of their privilege
and how this causes them to speak
with ignorance and condescension.

Since bile is part of human nature
I prefer the targets of my bitterness
to be out-of-scale human inventions,
like multi national corporations
whose open lack of soul
will corrupt individuals,
and smaller social structures
forced to be dependent on them,
along with as many government officials
as they need  to keep on-side,
to over-defend themselves well.

My belief in the individual
is what gives me the best chance
of being recieved by similar
-individuals who will believe in me.

It Is An Insult To Rats

when we use the phrase 'the rat race'
to compare the pressure on resources
 and the rapid extinction of species
that our over-population has plagued
the planet with to the effects
of colonies of the family Muroidea.
