One of my, I want to write about it.

There was a StarTrek theme a lot of years ago, when war had been given over to computers and both sides then agreed to just kill an agreed number of their own people and had carried this on to a custom that makes you think of the worship of idles or idols or some other mechanism like politics telling you that deaths are necessary to protect a greater number, whilst the main players have others killed and get paid for it.


John, how many did we kill today

2.45773620-02% depending of course on the breeding patterns.

Doesn’t it even bother you that we kill our own people

Not me, nor you
So why are you complaining

Friends are approaching me
How do I grade them
For the lists

On donations I suppose
But breeding must keep those we need pure

And money is success

So those with the money
Are bred pure
And they
Are those we can lose, the least
