“The Moment Of Aware…”

 

Neither the world nor its people

are as we WANT to believe.

 

Life has always had a price

…and people

- well, are not inherently moral prodigies

of self-less virtue

or otherwise - always fit to lead.

 

Whether that price was dictated

by an individual or group

OR self-appointed (regardless of sex)

Czar, Emperor, King, Pastor, Imam, Politician, et al

- it’s always another that pays the price.

Laws are NOT fair,

nor seldom just…

nor even applied equally.

And “THIS” is how this

(as all things) …ends.
