The beauty of this site is the freedom of expression! I respect your views and admit I feel the same about many of the things you\'ve said. We seem to be losing our collectiveness and becoming individual satellites just circling each other, waiting opportunistically to have an advantage. I appreciate your voice.

Oh those myths!

if we could all imbue, one tenth
of the passion in this poem
to the interest we have
when choosing who to vote for
in that cyclical
four year self-defeating mirage
we title \'a democracy\'.
(but dear poet
were we to abandon our strive
for a \'genuinely\' democratic society
we would soon divulge our reality
into limitless anarchy
and have to rebuild again, to find our humanity..
we too quickly forget, Why
\'tribe culture\' was a necessity
and not a choice
at the outset of civilisation, see
cocooned behind our double glazed windows
and snugged-up beneath our warm duvets
we far, too readily forget
in a world where the majority don\'t look-out for each other
and only the strong and powerful
rule without any containment system
to limit their abuse of power
we would sharply regress to days of feudal, subservient reality
or Tyrannical chaos
and then this very words, you type
with such assured belief, in your right
to express yourself
would be excuse enough, to lose your life...
So yes, dear impassioned poet
please, please
write your Truth, but be mindful
to include humanity\'s past mistakes
within your scope of insight and wisdom
\'change
for the sake of change, itself
is futility: defined!\'
we must Progress
never, allow ourselves to Regress!)
a Great write! thank you for choosing to share, dear Poet
and I loved these lines:
\'Between a corrupt right and a decadent left?
Is that the future?
A vote between black and white it certainly isn\'t!
It is all painted in the same foul grey,
Marking the average man\'s grave!
And all of this because we believe in it!\'
(may, that
rationality lighthouse
of the centre
never dim or flounder)
\'that\'s the promise held
in our ballot boxes)
