The Crawling Kingsnake

For so long the Petrol Beast has grown only at a snail's pace, not to alarm you with too many quick price escalations, the boiling frog approach, but now its thurst for your dollars is Kingsized and all at once. Will the Oil Companies use this hurricane, with a Female name as well, as an excuse to keep those gas prices high, the new norm, 3.00 - 4.00 USD for a gallon?
This may then be the nudge we need to look for other ways to get a crankshaft to spin; come on now, we can go to the moon and clone sentient flesh, yet still petrol is the only way we can power an engine, I think something else is at work here, the Kingsnake is behind the knoll playing president puppet, don't fall for it, leave your car behind, just crawl.

The Beast that controls the power
source has all the power. A world that feeds off oil for all its needs is subservient to this Beast. To tame the Beast is to feed it well, but even well's soon dry up.
It is not just the car at stake but our plasticized world the Beast has created that is in jeopardy of collapsing. Does that leave the Beast in jeopardy too? Or is the Beast so powerful that it can transfer its power to other sources?
To crawl..? As in subservience or stealth-like beneath its seductive vibe?
Your words have caused many questions, as you can tell...

Just like the Spider on the Wall, we gonna crawl...what this really means is that I was listening to The Doors while I wrote that last bit. But yeah, under the radar, steath, quiet, unseen, under the sun, keep the road on your right, gas stations now used as repair shops for rickshaw tires and barrow suspension carrages...The Beast is only doing what it thinks is in the best intrests of some group or another, even in the highest levels of The Beast Inc. the head suits are thinking of how to undermine themselves because they have managed to get this golden calf idea out there and the consumers are taking to it and they realize mid paragraph that they are on the wrong track; not that we should just trust them, but even the goons have doves in their ranks; by the way I spelled (spelt: flour) thirst incorrectly in the post previous, but there are some mispelled words in this one too...I think that the Beast will comport itself in a way conducive to Natural Law when it see that that is profitable, give us what we want and we will give you want you want, for a while...What I want to say here is that The Beast is subject to the laws of Natural Selection too, it will bend this way and that just like the Serpent to stay alive, if we are clever with some planning we can lead him, Charm him, in whatever way suits us
