Unbridled Monsters - Equipped for Battle

He stood above seven feet high at his back level. His head towered over nine feet tall. He was ominous at his two thousand pound weight level, and the towering site of him was intimidating just to look into his eyes. He looked as though he could stomp a man to death with his massive hooves, and he was the largest animal in the Iowa State Fair. He is one of the world's largest horses, and he is on display for all who attend to see. Yet, he is held to his station with a small rope. He is a bridled monster.



Amazement comes to the mind when one considers the power of such a beast when it is controlled by such a small tether. Everyone who looks upon him knows that he possesses power that could easily break this small restraint, and still he remains in his pin. But in comparison, what about those individuals who unlike this powerful animal, have uncontrolled behaviors that are much like the beasts of the wild? What about these unbridled monsters?



There are among the human race those individuals who by pursuit of their own or by the advancement of another have been given power that is unrestrained. They do not wish to be tethered, and their antics not only provide damage to others but also to themselves. They stomp without regard to their steppings, and their passion for their own agenda supersedes all others. Compassion for casualties does not have place within their thinking, and though they pretend superior knowledge and equipment, they actually do more damage than progression. Perhaps the reader has encountered some of these unbridled monsters in their fair.



There is however a wonderful benefit to these unbridled beasts. Their massive size and enormous egos provide a wonderful supply for a glue factory whenever they fall from their pretentious positions that have not been earned but given by one in whom they rarely give attention.



Until tomorrow... Why Say More?
