The Beast in Me


            The Oxford Classical Dictionary sets forth Greek myth(s) outlining the way of the Centaurs - a tribe of beasts with human endowments above, and horse accoutrements below - conflicted by interactions with ordinary men, while grappling with their own propensity for uncontrolled lust, sporadic violence and alcoholic greed. Modern day political machinations bear striking, parallax resemblance and ill-fated bellicosity to those complex creatures of yore, as members of both parties furiously thrash about in the quicksand of  cultural and political, self-serving dominance.
