The Disarmament Conference

By Hajb the Mad Poet

"The Yoruba people in West Africa tell a story of Ogun, an Orisha associated with iron in all of its manifestations: empire building, warfare, agriculture, technology, fatherhood, and hunting, as well as numerous aspects of murder and mayhem. Because Ogun was so powerful in battle, the people persistently begged and nagged him to become their leader. Despite his strong preference for a reclusive life, he eventually gave in to the nagging and led the people through many glorious victories. One day, however, he got so drunk that he couldn’t differentiate friend from foe. He slaughtered his own people."

Read the wholte story. It is very relevant to TIP. A nice metaphor, drunken Ogun. - Sri
