The Marketplace

Every shot of grief and pain commences the grand experiment once again, delineating material differences in the various types of neglect, the techniques and attitudes that too often lead to violence, and the denial of blame. Sadly, it always comes to naught: bought players mouthing contrived words, obeying contrary voices, concluding with self-serving decisions determined in advance by those who buy weak souls in the marketplace of cowardice.
