God Forbid

Perhaps most people would prefer a free and open society.
But God forbid that I should  DAMPEN  anyone's spirit
or  BLEMISH  someone's  VISAGE  by exposing some
PERNICIOUS   manipulations of a few fraudulent people.
Must I dare TREAVERSE  another's 'rights to indifference'?                                                            
Nevertheless, standing at the  SENTRY  post on yesterday, I observed                                                                                   
free  ENTERPRISE  in a most unusual way.  There were no hands barred,
a free-for-all survival of the fittest like 'robber barons' reinvented, or like                                                              
before anti-trust laws. Business transactions, 'the buyer beware type',                                                    
were being made by  ASTRAL  citizens "from somewhere out there".
