jungle jim

[constantine]

the smaller the territory,
the bigger the scramble -
frenetic and ferocious.
the headlong rush for power, for dominion,
to call the shots -
to lay the boundaries-
to sink teeth into an exposed throat -
the declared and immutable jungle law,
the pecking order that - sweet Jesus!
drives the nails into the flesh...
no preamble nor proclamation -
disclaimers or the finest of fine print -
that covers the bases -
that hedges the bet -
has ever been or ever will be -
worth the parchment, papyrus, or paper
it's printed on!
the house always wins -
until the house burns down

the house always wins -
until the house burns down

Now that's a metaphor for the post-post-modern global neo-mega-multi-national rape-dom economy if I've ever heard one. Or more to the point: if the house burns its own people, then both house and its people die. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Seems only reasonable.

the declared and immutable jungle law,
the pecking order that - sweet Jesus!
drives the nails into the flesh...
