The Sins of the Forefather...

Recovering from receiving repeated kicks to the forehead, stamped about the abdomen and spat upon, the unmistaken sound of a well handcrafted rawhide bullwhip breaks the chilling night air.   Remembering more the whip than its heartless wielder; mindlessly gorged in blood thirst ecstasy from every agonizing cry.  

For one civilized moment your body feels completely paralyzed and lifeless, as though spirit had left behind a cold empty soulless shell.     A level of peace grips the heart as a longing for release, from shackles, from pain… from the burden of living.   Next moment rudely awakened by icy water thrown into a swollen lacerated face.

With the slightest flick of the wrist, the razor-sharp edges of the whip rips across broad baked backs; ripping away thick chunks of bloody flesh.  The sheer pain and agony is unbearable.  Holding your focus away from simply giving up and dying as the very instrument inflicting your pain.

Through callous intent man had indeed invented a device of torture able of inflicting deep wounds upon the body and (greater) upon the mind.   With deliberation he hurls his torturous devices upon the defenseless, to subdue their will to his own pleasure.  Through the establishment of fear, the device of torture becomes a symbol of strength and the implemented power of authority.  

In the time of our fathers’ forefathers there exist evil unheard, unspoken and unimagined by the masses.    Evil beliefs, attitudes and customs established that rear ugly heads within religion, politics, and law enforcement.   Such evil practice eventually evolves into socially accepted norms practiced commonly among the majority of the day.  

Of social culture like ours, the political and economic balance dramatically shifts to favor the powerful.    Generations of vipers who had (in times past) raped, pillaged and murdered the poor and defenseless for personal benefit now enjoy the full trappings of social elitism.  Unguarded, the shackles which fell from the forefather limbs falls upon the forehead of the great-grandchild.

Although past performances don’t indicate future result, it certainly gives one something to consider… certainly before giving away ones birthright.
