Cunning leads to knavery. It is but a step from one to the other, and that very slippery. Only lying makes the difference; add that to cunning, and it is knavery.
With art and knavery we live through half the year; with knavery and art we live through the other.
No man understands knavery better than the abbot who has been a monk.
Knavery and flattery are blood relations.

apj Indonesia’s Torturous Democracy?
Indonesia is a sprawling
archipelago nation
of 237 million people.
Indonesia emerged
from decades
of dictatorship
as recently as 1998.
Indonesia continues
to make
strides toward democracy...
however a weak
limp legal system
continues to be
a hot black spot.
torturing suspects
'the norm' in Indonesia
routine police perks
routine law enforcement
torture suspects convicts
extract corrupt confessions
“Indonesian law enforcers
routinely torture suspects
and convicts to extract
confessions or obtain
information... beatings,
intimidation and rape are
so commonplace they are
considered the norm.”
Jakarta-based Legal Aid Foundation Report
Restaria Hutabarat said the group's report
found police beatings intimidation rape
are commonplace considered routine norm
“few victims believe
they have the right
to lodge complaints”
police intimidation beatings raping suspects
few terrorized victims lodge complaints
Boy Rafli Amar will make changes if necessary
Indonesian National Police Spokesman Col. Boy Rafli Amar
said he would study
a 21-page legal report
would make changes
in the force if necessary.
Make changes in
the Police force
if necessary?
Beatings raping suspects
is not urgent grounds
for necessary changes?
Beatings raping
innocent people
is not a serious
crime when wearing
a badge of immunity?
Are police perks
more honourable
than paying a prostitute
in the world's
largest Islamic nation
a nation shamed?

He is always right who suspects that he is always wrong.
It's The Simplisticness Of It
There is something uncommon,
About a feeling one suspects...
Is a love that connects.
Undeniable is a chemistry felt.
And unexpected it comes,
With a stunning done.
And difficult it is to admit this.
When two are drawn to each other...
Like the lighting of a flame to a candle wick.
Giving such a brightness to illuminate it quick.
And there it sits...
Unresisting the naturalness of it.
There is something uncommon,
About a feeling one suspects...
Is a love that connects.
It's...
The simplisticness of it.
Needing no elaborate fabrics...
Of smooth satin or silk.
Or a proof of feasting eyes,
To witness true love cemented.
Nor ceremonialized,
With the giving of expensive wedding gifts...
After legalizing with a permanent 'I Do' of promises.
It's...
The simplisticness of it,
That needs none of this to know the feeling that fits.
A heartfelt loyalty devoted feels the presence of commitment.
