A Lasting Governing Background

Poem Artwork

When the river bed becomes dried

All the dales and vales are empty;

When the city wall mound is levelled

The deep moat beside it is filled up again.

 

In regard to this a saying goes like this:

"As fish should not leave the protection

Of deep waters, the agencies of the state benefits

Should not be shown to the commoners."

 

This may be considered as the secret

Of a long-term and prosperous governing.

Some say that our constitution needs to be changed but I believe those who constituted it thought way ahead into the future and wrote those words to enable all...

Always,

But what if secrecy leads only to no fish, the city leveled and the moat filled? What agency remains? or do I miss something?

Our experiment in democracy is only some 230 years old, a brief period when compared with history. I'm not sure what you wrote because you tend to write in riddles that my feeble brain cannot comprehend. But I guess I'm a commoner and not a mystic, so I can discern is that it's bad for me to mess with the powers that be.

The Old Way has hindered the American experiment from its inception-the People cannot possibly rule if denied access to 'the secrets' of power. Thus education is the first to crumble. State secrets are shared between tyrants but withheld from the common citizen. Thus symbols stand for truth, banners for freedom - but without light all flags are grey, and reality opaque. As for prosperity, it seems forever in the balance. A fine challenge for this important anniversary, Alex.
