Hidden flaws cannot be seen through the lens of a blind eye. Thus, shadows collaborate to hide hate as pretense helps bigotry stay unseen; but it is there; merely open your eyes. Like a fiction of tall tales, history's a false teacher. Brutality, cruelty, greed, and fear are tested tools used to manipulate; and justify attempts at genocide. War is a God-given right; pacifists are all traitors! And effective today, as in the past, lies remain the preferred motivator, a proven way of controlling people. We tout our belief in God when it serves us to do so. Democracy's almost designed to fail; as it struggles not to be overthrown by psychopaths with political might. An ambition still pursued by big money to this day.
