If honesty be a curse
Should one suture their lips?
If an error in judgement is executed
Should we lynch the poor judger?
If one uses another to build an empire
Should we catapult the walls down?
From a distant vantage point, I’ve witness such events, events witnessed since we began time…
Machiavellian plans, messianic rise of greed and self righteousness….and the band of followers, ready to cast their lot…without so much as taking a breath, to sit back and review all details….

So much easier to ride on someone’s wagon, then to build and drive your own, isn’t it? If I have a curse, it is that I hate riding passenger.
