Ho-hum, Another Victory

There is universal yearning among the hierarchy of power

To take on Spinoza's ultimate understanding viewed from the top.

How gratifying must be the perspective eye-balled from the "aspect of eternity" the awesome red overpowering the blue.

Ah, the magnanimity to stand next to the gods on Olympus, to look down on sweaty Prometheus!

How Gulliver-like the breath-taking sight, like the fleeting passion on Christmas Eve when the father steps back to admire the final touches to his son's train board!

How sprawling must be the breadth of power in the game room of the Pentagon!

Yea, how deadly, how in the end so indifferent it must be as the eye-lids grow heavy squinting through the peephole of humanity as inanimate things!

This is proably one of the biggest understatements of the year!
