The typical habits and common
Tendencies of individuals
Aren’t easily eliminable,
But could be compounded or diffused.
Systems are neither superhuman
Nor monstrous agents with their own wills.
Leviathan isn’t a person
But whatever too many persons
Can get up to when private poisons
Become summative. Short of chaos,
What can be done to tame a dragon?
Baffle the alignments of the scales.
The least destructive systems balance
The worst wishes to baffle the whole.
