Thoughts for the Forth of July
We created a Leviathan to defend our Freedom.
An ugly brute, powerful, but clumsy.
We gave it some of our Freedom,
to secure our security,
and those Freedoms that remained.
This parasitic relationship worked well...
for a time.
As Generations passed,
we forgot what an ugly brute
our Leviathan was.
We began to think its ugliness,
beauty.
We called it Mother,
and it consumed us.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
