Forced Democracy...

Poem Artwork

That’s it, lets bomb the hell out of other nations,

Making their populace just so many patients,

Doesn’t matter if in the past we had good relations,

All that matters now is to push for democracy,

And its, too many to mention, complications…

 

Let us go back to the old isolationism,

That we tried to have way back when,

Let the world become what may,

And allow US to deal with just ourselves again…

 

Surely it is only my opinion,

From this low on the totem pole minion,

No longer should we as well hold dominion,

Over other lands, allowing them their own freedom…

ED - WELL PUT!

REMINDS ME OF OLD FLICK - 'THE MOUSE THAT ROARED' ...

WE A-BOMBED JAPAN - THEN 'OCCUPIED' IT ...

NOW, THEY 'OWN' THE STEEL & AUTO MARKETS ...

AND ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD ELSEWISE TOO! TK.

our way or no way Ed seems to be everyones philosophy, individuals and nations, America pushes others and we haven't even solved all of our own freedom problems, personally I think people should be as free as possible, so I'm for democracy, seems to be the best thing going in the freedom category, good poetic joint, guess we'll smoke it

Well, considering that we are a representative republic it has always caused me to pause why we insist on pushing democracy all around the world. Though I will admit I am not sure what we have right now because everyday more is being shoved down our throats...

Be always safe,

Ok, if you insist. And what do you want to do with Great Britain; British Petroleum, after all, is causing our entire Gulf Coast - to die a horrendous death. And what about our own politicians, who are protecting them??!!

Democracy, by definition, is force. Mob rules, majority over the minority, etc. Or, as once stated, "democracy is two wolves and a sheep discussing what's for dinner." Now a Constitutional Republic, that's something different. And the way we're behaving is shameful. I liked your poem. And these drone attacks are really winning us a lot of friends over there too.

If the United Nations agenda could work the way it was intended to, if they had the power as well as the word, if the so-called civilized countries could put as much energy into environmental issues as they do to warfare, if the little guys like us truly had a real say...lot of ifs old buddy.

This low totem pole minion, speaks with more sanity, than almost all those of in their ivory towers, the politicians, military industrialist, etc, etc, spend the monies at home, keep the riff raff out, with higher better defended walls, it's less costly and more sane. Your picture says it very well, in one fell swoop, Bless ya! Jasmin Horst
