Would it matter to you that other kind...
... believed you lived not, you breathed not?
Would it matter to you that other kind...
... believed you belonged to them because they possessed you?
Would it matter to you that other kind...
... believed that the exploitation of you was just?
*
Or...
... would you live?
Or...
... would you pray to the grandverse in the hopes of being heard?
*
Then...
... when your prayers were answered...
... what would you do...
... when...
... the kind who answered your prayers...
*
When...
... the kind who answered your prayers...
... cared not that your prayers petitioned their mercy?
*
Indeed...
... they hungered to satisfy new vices and old exploits...
... they craved the establishment of new economies and old societies...
... they thirsted for new crowns honors thrones pedestals and old wealth fame glory power...
... to patronize and consume...
... for ego vanity privilege greed...
... for frivolity.

If you were dying...
... what would you do...
... if what was killing you...
... was the belief that you were nothing but a commodity to be bought and sold? nothing but a resource to be exhausted until annihilation and extinction?
... if who was idle...
... were other kind whose narcissism and hubris justified such belief? and the kind who answered your prayers whose indifference, explicit and tacit, succored the annihilation and extinction of you?
*
... and the kind who answered your prayers then...
... remembered...
... their honor, their virtue, their integrity.
... whereupon...
... your vivo et liber was restored.
*
For shame...
... the kind who answer your prayers now...
... eschew their honor, their virtue, their integrity...
... for the shameless...
... for the economy of buying and selling crowns honors thrones pedestals power glory fame wealth...
... for corruption barbarity exploitation deceit...
... for frauds crowned as idols gods heroes, for frauds honored as masters superior luminaries...
... for prostitutes and prostitution, for patrons and patronage...
... for ego vanity privilege greed and lies lies lies.

... if the shameless who ran the world...
... were killing you...
... for their greed their privilege their vanity their ego their wealth their fame their glory their power their pedestals their thrones their honors their crowns...
... for their frauds their prostitutes their patrons their shameless?

Though the curtain that masques the wizard is as transparent as the emperor's new clothes...
... how many of us see the truth that is visible?
... how many of us believe the curtain absolutely obscures the truth?
And...

The economy of buying and selling crowns honors pedestals thrones wealth glory fame power... is an open book.
That such economy legitimizes the patronage of prostitution and corruption barbarity exploitation deceit... is also an open book.
That subsequently:
frauds crowned as idols gods heroes
frauds honored as masters superiors luminaries
the shameless
prostitutes
patrons
the talkers who talk
the walkers who walk
... who aspire no virtue, who achieve no merit...
... run the world...
... legitimized by Ministries of Truths that lie lie lie...
... justified by Ministers of Truths who lie lie lie...
... is also an open book.
Yet:
The self righteous, the self superior, the arrogantly self conceited insist that merit and virtue and honor and integrity imbue all crowns honors pedestals thrones wealth glory fame power... vis a vis wins by honest contest and earns by humble toil.

That Ministries of Truths and Ministers of Truths expend prodigious efforts to masque patronage of prostitution and corruption barbarity exploitation deceit... as meritorious and virtuous and honorable and just...
... is how:
frauds crowned as idols gods heroes
frauds honored as masters superiors luminaries
the shameless
prostitutes
patrons
the talkers who talk
the walkers who walk
... rob all of inalienable vivo et liber.
