Residual

Ancient priests,
witch doctors,
shamans,
sorcerers. 
Power!
Held the
ancients in
control.
Existence 
frightening,
answers few.
Power, the
few holding
the many.
Control!
Controllers,
followers.
Power,
rewards for
those who
grasp it!
Humanity, 
pecking order.
Power passed
from ancients 
thru modernity!
Nothing 
changed!
Few
controlling 
the many.
Change.
Change
coming.
Hive.
Human hive.
Hive mind
technology,
internet 
singularity.
Pecking order,
dies!
Power 
homogenized!
