Tim….there isn’t much anyone can do to get democracy back to its original intention.Still, if we don’t keep writing about it,as you have here,then who will?
The old adage, ‘you get the government you deserve’ seems to playing out across all western democracies but especially so in USA where only money matters.
It’s taken a long time for the dollars and the bastards to get absolute power…they will never surrender it.
I’m still smiling and won’t let them grind me down.
Cheers mate.-

Thank you, Peter. When it comes to greed and corruption, some are professionals at it.

Hey Elke. Thanks so much for the comment. I keep getting this feeling like Trump is not going to finish his term. We’ll see.

Pretty much whatever they say to get elected is bullshit. All are guilty, too. There is no good politician in the higher echelons. I guess they can’t really be anymore. Too much chaos in all parties and at all desks. And yes, money is the controller.
We can hope for improvement all we want. There will never be, again. Just less bad, if we are lucky.Well delivered message, Tim.

Sharp teeth in a suit, and still the poem doesn’t flinch—love how you chew the rot of politics without losing your voice.
The grit of truth bites, but you carry it kindly, like a warning whispered in a smoky bar.-

Tim, you wrote the reality of the rot that is infecting America and much of the world with penetrating clarity and articulated poetically the shroud we are enveloped in. Truly a great poem about our dark time.

I must be missing something. I don’t see the song anywhere?

There should be an audio upload right below the poem. If not, maybe the device you’re on doesn’t support it correctly 🤔

Chère C.,
Not one to settle down is not necessarily the problem.
A couple of those may be convenient.
One who sees you as the oasis and one to hoover an put the garbage outside?
And who says you can’t be the sultan?Your poem opened my eyes to many possibilities!
That’s what good work is supposed to do: be mind blowing….
Next one please…..
Kind regards, Gus-

hello Gus thank you for such a beautiful comment though I couldn’t be a Sultan because I like a man who leads ❤️
