Those crowns are the springiest of all, Hardened, like walnuts inside, but  Their soul-fleshy exteriors are so springy, So unlike their puppy dogmas. Each night, we step across the river-crossing And leap with laughter upon the stepping stones of Silly Cynicism. I know we shouldn&#8217;t, But [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rationalmadness.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5087857&amp;post=1590&amp;subd=rationalmadness&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Manipulation is mostly a word used for negative purposes. To be manipulative is somehow to be clandestinely scheming, to be attempting to influence the behaviours of others for reasons unknown to them.
