When enough people make false promises, 
words stop meaning anything. 

Then there are no more answers, 
only better & better lies. 

And lies won't help us.

A dragon is not a slave. 
They were terrifying. 
Extraordinary.

Sometimes when I try to understand a person's motives, 
I play a little game. 

I assume the worst. 

What's the worst reason they could possibly have 
for saying what they say 
& doing what they do? 

Then I ask myself, 
How well that reason explain what they say & what they do?

I'm a slow learner, it's true.
But I learn.

When the snow falls & the white winds blow, 
the lone wolf dies, 
but the pack survives.
