In the dim and distant past some freed men
believed that only their equals in gender had souls.
Whether this was because only they had willies
or whether they needed women and lower status men,
to take the blame when events turned against these would-be strong men,
and for blames sake blame and soul were best kept apart
(how noble of them!) is hard to know.
Their reasoning was probably both, and worse as well
-mediocre tribalism. I now see something similar in my society
which is run by the rich for the richest 1%
and in their souls rests their wealth and status.
Thus their love of money is less the sin of pride,
more their virtue. The 1 % believe that the poor
are to be consigned to oblivion. However hard they work
they will never earn enough for their wealth
to be worth that acme of virtue, avoiding paying tax.
