"You can do Anything you Want to people and God will Not stop you."

"You can do Anything you Want to people and God will Not stop you. Lie, cheat, steal and look to the Sky. Then laugh." The man was Old and Hollow and Empty then, but his eyes Lit Up when talking of his Glory Days of Evildoing. Fear, he said, is what holds people in check - fear of Themselves. "Corrupt them with Greed and they'll Never Stand against you." He was Boasting, assuming I was of his ilk, and it rejuvenated his Rotted Soul to recall times of exploring Life and losing the fear of God.

It's been many a Moon since I talked to that Trashed Out old man but I was reminded of him today when I heard a Directive to the Masses. Literally, they said, "Get used to it." The Powerbrokers have run out of new places to reap Profits so the Weak in the Green Zones must give up theirs. Welcome to the Age Of Cannibalism.

But the Old Man was right. True, there were complaints as they were forced to Hand Over their profits but the masses did not stand against the Few. Why? Because they too want to be as the Power Lords. They too believe the Profit System is the Only Possible Way. They are so Possessed they give away their own Lives - which is What It Means to be possessed.
