Monkeyforming

That`s what he`s been doing ever since he started his campaign. No terraforming, but Monkeyforming everyone around him. Judiciously courting the very ape inside of us. Luring and grooming it. Feeding it with dreadful, fearsome stories. Storming its hate. Working up its rage. Patiently gathering every new zealot. Flocking all of them into rallies, or individually engaging them in articulate sophistry strategies, as wannabe highbrow surrogates.

He named, marked and protected his territory. Pissed on other`s turf and make them pay for their right to exist, going straight for their genitals. Grabbing, piercing them. Total depredation; no prisoners! PERIOD!!!!

Marched proudly with his engorged cherry-red anus among the entire hoi polloi, sharing carrots to the cheerleaders and sticks to the grumblers. Calling names, shaming and threatening the Others. Fuming for not receiving the right scratch for the precise itch. He brought up the tree the entire family and got them climbed on the highest branches. Forgetting that on top, the brushwood gets very thin. The highest, the thinnest. Now they are all dangling all over the place, confused and vexed. Booed by the XXIst century species, but praised and admired by an entire soul-search-self-discovered armada of devotees. Make no mistake, this is going to be a survival fight.
