power

enabled by consent, disabled by dissent

in the physical world the all-pervasive force
that affects everything and everyone is gravity

in the human world – our world – it’s power

power cares for nothing
except more power
and stops at nothing
to gain more power

as a social illness unaddressed
it’s terminal: the end of us all

so let’s address it, understand it, and deal with it:
power is enabled by consent, disabled by dissent*
