Kurt Philip Behm

The best of the worst,

rules amidst chaos,

honor amongst thieves

—brothers in blood

    thought provoking, as ever!
    I'm not sure if its by design
    (knowing your track record, I believe it is)
    but that line:
    'rules amidst chaos'
    makes one, immediately think of
    '(Ruler's) amidst chaos'
    and that completely adds new insight's to your wordplay
    of Blood Oath, within
    'honor amongst thieves'..
    it really reads, as a such a bleak snapshot
    of what we majority assume as the worst
    of humanity, while Wilfully ignoring
    our very fingerprints
    on those shackles we allow to 'adorn' our depiction
    of victimhood worshipping, self-deluding: lives...
    (I'll stop here, or else this will turn
    into another SA length, futile ramble) lol

    Thanks LB. I was inspired by the loyalty shown to such as Mafia Dons, Gang Leaders and even Politicians. Shakespeare was best at this. As always, thanks so much.

    'belonging'
    is the most powerful Drug
    We, humanity: manufactured...

    Cultural DNA...

    • L. B. Mek

      entwined, so deep - from birth
      all we can do
      is breathe a little out, at a time
      in each exhale
      of enlightened freedom's: great escape...
