Deities Don't Have Debtors

-they make everything they create
to remain in perpetual debt to them.

Some deities are said to be selfless,
whilst others in their graceless behaviour
reflect the less law abiding elements
of the society that they reflect.

It is also true that believing in one god
and expecting this one ruler and their rule
to be universally easy to adhere to
is far harder logically harder to do
than anyone can think through.

Human variants in obedience and rebellion
are far harder to link to an unseen solid-state ruler,
who never changes and is a fixed point around them,
when their followers will fluctuate quite so much.


than they are to gods who portray human psycho-dramas.

And Heaven's treasures never age-they have no 'sell by' date.

Time And Distance

The difference between a British person and an American
is that the Brit will think that 100 miles is far to travel,
no problem to the American who will be stumped by time
-thinking that a 100 years is an longer than eternity.

My Latest Reading

is 'Dishonest to God; My Autobiography'
by Satan (Sisyphus Publishing Press).

There is no year on which it was published
and there is no copyright law on the text,
which rearranges what I have already read
each time I start afresh on a new section.

I have checked,
and yes,
the book does have an end.

But I have no idea when I might reach it.





P.s. The flyleaf tells me that there is a companion volume,
titled 'Unreliably Yours; How I Inspired History's Greatest Liars'
-by the same author, Satan, with some of is more fallen helpers.
No copy could be found when I searched for one. All extant copies
are presently used as guides by the departmental ministers
of every national government around the world, as part their quest
for eternal rule and the vanquishing of all opposition,
particularly from those they say they rule for but actually over-rule.

Hollow Hierarchies

A position of privilege is a grand place
from which to see the lack of  choice
that other, lesser, people apparently endure.

But observation that leads to inaction
is not really observation at all,
but a paralysis, a kind of death,
of the will for change that pervades the whole universe
.

Suspicious Planning

We are only ever told 'Plan B is to get into debt'
after Plan A pans out badly. It takes that long
for us to be suspicious about all planning, all along.

Because it is when Plan B really kicks in
that we learn what the planners meant to happen.

And usually what 'planning means
is that one closed and barely known hierarchy,
deciding for everybody how they should live;
How much or little the masses should be living on.

If the clique were clearer about it sooner
they know their plan would disappoint.
Hence the Plan A/Plan B strategy
for what they intended from the off.

Better for transparency's sake,
better disappointment through honesty
which allows for changes to be made later,
than denials and evasions all along.

Immoral Equivalence

Is the province of bullies and cheats.
It hides their deeds par excellence.

It blames the weak for their weakness
and beyond all reason it conforms their defeat.

Immoral Equivalence has shaped all history.

Pond Life

What the big fish have to remember
as they roam the pond
as the apex of the food chain
is that size isn't everything.

And they were once small
and dependent on the defenses
of the creatures they went around with.

With survival there are no blind hierarchies.
