Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis - part i

Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis, high bred poiet?s of mine ("Thus always I cause the death of tyrants.”) the purported line Brutus uttered after assassinating Julius Caesar. Alternatively titled: The prose and consequential arguments for the death penalty. An attempt to resuscitate the following rambling missive written quite some years ago (being declared dead on arrival if yours truly took emergency measures to recruit editorial assistance), but after re-reading loopy thought process, I decided to submit to rebukes and suffer withering criticism from any anonymous reader. Ever since the early forerunners of twenty first century mankind (sprinted across the trackless expanse extant upon planet Earth), modern *****Sapiens essentially won out as coterie precursors sans predominant present day team of rivals. The zigzag line, whence our arboreal ancestors skedaddled their way toward a capitalone delineation of die hard grateful deadheads dogging disaster, and acquiring dubious distinction decreeing domain of oblate spheroid as prime real estate, (when Prometheus fire made privy to proto humans, while an anonymous forerunner of Flintstones squatted squeezing with utmost effort, when nothing more than an ear deafening blast of flatulence issued forth unwittingly kindled sparks of tinder), the imperceptible figurative ink did not dry before these hairy hooligans edged out other prehensile primates. Enfant Terrible employed as an analogy for punctuated equilibrium (postulated by Stephen Jay Gould heterochrony and similar evolutionary changes would not be directed by the genes that actually build various body parts) witnessing a boom rang amidst feral creatures unpredictably crowing with foo fighting fecundity (inadvertently in sync with Feng Shui) to launch a scrappy posse of measly mensch kin’s into the realm. This phenomena countless thousands (more like millions) of years since the inception of brutal, nasty and short tempered present day troglodytes. With the aid of an imaginary crystal ball, the seeds of White Lily got borne via Aery windy gusts jet setting most “advanced” pygmy beastie boys as the animalistic bellwether per future adventure, whence many anthropological opposable thumbed volumes yet written till the present deadly crossroads announced ruthless Reichstag. Credos, codas, diktats governing infantile Messerschmitt Sol Invictus yet unnamed role as most dangerous living beings known to exist unwittingly usurped grandiose nom de plume as Master baiters predicating their survival on brawn and brains to public enemy number one to all other life forms. As the fittest (at least when accidents of circumstances found tendency to crowd source, the mob mentality already evident as hyena cackles quickly garnered rubric of might equals right), thus grabbing by force of strong arms (fingers clutching deadly lances), the top prize as sovereign dictators of the Proletariat). Over the course of millennia (presently without Melania, who cares), they became the de facto dominant species. The proto humans ancestors of Donald Trump, essentially won the race millenniums ago. The evolutionary descendents metamophasizing into bipedal hominids of recent mankind did not monkey around when competing in the Human Race. They elbowed, jostled, and ousted competitors eventually to ascend inexorably their way to the top tier of totalitarianism. Great indomitable naked apes of early simian evolution, would not settle for any role except top banana in the hierarchical schema of biota extant throughout the nascent dawn of civilization and age of Aquarius. Violence with whatever materiel at hand vanquished any threat to world wide webbed domination sans existence at dawn of civilization. Closer to late morning and high noon the tall tale ushered vanity videre licet venal, vicious, vocal frankly zapped Tarzans, 10,000 Maniacs, and voodoo worshippers blitzed like banshees. Literal face saving each manikin for himself (gnome hatter whether blood pact swore), the bludgeoned, hoodwinked, and whipped warriors wary warlocks fought tooth nail to the death. One instant found a bald (ah that explains my receding heir line) bandied legged bestial macho tree swinging sportsman (my monkey's uncle) brazenly boasting bona fide. Well guess what ma friend? That sure-footed geico hunter met a bloody death on an empty stomach. His purported blood brothers abandoned him (at the drop of a clump of offal) as not dependent and unreliable brethren. No such thing as a gentlemen’s agreement ruled the virgin terra firmae. Amidst the warren of primates, a promise quickly broached instantaneously after pledging allegiance to a pseudo fraternity. Swift lee tailored and harried styled obeisance adhered to a flip flop (dip thong) pattern that guaranteed staying alive. This included bopping strapping "jocks" on their beanies with rotten tangerines of bystander’s whereat even babies innocently caught in the culture club thwacks between one competing claque and another. Pity clobbered indiscriminately friend and de foe alike exacerbating ruination of bucolic beauty. Contra bands (very loosely applied) associated with village people as the most powerful brigands, which shifting fidelity took place without the presence of border crossing guards or border collies. The open frontier presented Avast earthlinked heaven, where danger lurked in most every field camouflaged by delusively diminutive sized cretins, that punched a wallop with a crack on the noggin before indigenous faux peoples swooped down amidst the war whoop emitted by a madding crowd marauding where angels feared to tread. Oft times (no doubt), thee ah bridged brotherly bond broke brooked ranks (once upon unfamiliar terrain of an alien nation) plying figurative cards to benefit bristling brood. Deoxyribonucleic Acid played a key role as genetics probably parlayed traits to the ace of spades, where the wild impractical joker abetted physical heft to hoist with her/his own petard heavy objects, and mandates employed and obeyed by snatching strapping twisted sisters, thence sacking sacred cistern, when bands of ruffians within the melee wrought regal restitution.
