It is exactly wrong to speak of government

as some monolithic them that gives and takes,

controls.

Government, when rightly understood,

is us doing as we decide,

projects to meet our goals

as organized society.

 

 

 

Released from believing

I need to be more than I am.

Those people I hunched beneath

fallen away.

None here hug me back,

stand aghast at such presumption of

familiarity.

 

 

 

I have clear prejudice against

those I feel disrespect me,

salving my perceived wounds

with nasty names and stories

to castigate them in

my private square.

 

 

 

The salient feature of humanity

is ownership of property.

People with no property have no value,

and therefore no entitlement

to rights.
