Raw Obsessions

The penchant of a national leader. can show malignancy in things he says; things for which his mind needs a proof-reader. Some tempers malign as rivals start to quiz Views have drawn the cancer, cacoethes. A writer’s mania – cacoethes scribendi - appears when terrorists write a manifesto. Do over-engaged minds stage what’s trendy? obsessive was the groove of the fluent Victor Hugo and fictional, compulsive liar – Pinocchio. Take Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Miserables. With surplus words, intense cravings we find yield lawless acts, theft, prostitution which rob disadvantaged folk of their conventional mind. Poverty's victims are prone to spell-bind.
