The Time of the Bully

Everywhere I go, I see muscle.

A lack of generosity.

A desire to impose will.

To control rather than explore.

Callous. Small minded. Selfish.

I am important. So important I cannot be ignored.

What I say goes.

If you disagree, I will throw names at you that suggest rocks are next.

Because in this time of uncertainty, it’s the only way to achieve certainty.

Meanwhile, the rest of us smile and hope the longer we ignore it, the faster it will go away.
