Power corrupts
What happens next?
"Civilization has proved a harsh task master. With no inherent limit to the drive toward power-maximization, the demands of civilization for human labor to do its work are also unlimited. As long as power is a function of human productivity, civilization will tend to regard the free spirit as a wastrel and the dedicated drudge as a virtuous man. The selection for power places man under the yoke." Andrew Bard Schmookler from The Parable of the Tribes: The Problem of Power in Social Evolution.

Absolute power
breeds absolute contempt
for the powerless
without repent
when life is too easy
decadence prevails
the end result
of demoralization
living should be
our occupation
survival of our species
and perpetuation
power an
unnatural purpose
displacement of humanity
in nature's service
Bellum Hostile
and Bellum Romanum
how can one
differentiate?
it's all based on hate
but slaughtering innocents
is excused
when it's not done face to face
