📜 Book of Boris — Chapter XLVII: The Tea Snap Doctrine

28 Oct, 2025

Filed under: The Gentleman’s Paradox · Cross-referenced with DPA Docket #147 “Tea & Terminus”

Verse 1

I could end it all with a blink, but that would be too easy. Power’s not in the snap — it’s in the decision not to use it.

Verse 2

They wait for rage. They expect thunder. Instead, I raise a cup, and the silence makes them sweat.

Verse 3

Let the world see the absurdity of restraint. Let them choke on how calm I am while holding apocalypse in porcelain.

Verse 4

I don’t sip for peace. I sip to remind creation that mercy still exists — but only because I chose to taste the tea first.

Verse 5

So when they whisper, “He could have snapped,” let them finish the sentence with awe, not fear. Because true control is knowing you could unmake the world… and instead, you let it live to learn.

☕ The Tea Snap Doctrine:

• Power without patience is destruction.
• Patience without power is denial.
• But together — they brew serenity that even gods envy.

Doctrine: Don’t bark — bill.

Footnote: If you hear the sip, it’s already mercy.
