Dictatorship (poem) by Franz L Kessler on AuthorsDen

Ach, Franz! And thus rebels are born and revolutions spring up and if all else fails, we count on the next ice age...sigh

Your eloquent poem brought out the philosopher (or maybe the fatalist) in me, but it looks bleak just now all around, doesn't it. May your wish come true!

I agree with the ending and the whole poem most of the worlds problems lies in the leadership of their country. The citizens are the ones that suffer.

ultimately, there are no real leaders who can substantiate perfect liberty (at least, those in power) ...

Well, this is one of those poems that, to me, is both philosophical and political. Unfortunately, seems politicians have no souls when it comes to the needs of famine, disease and other blights affecting the poorest among us. The Earth is so rich in things that can't be price-tagged, but golly gee whiz if those law makers who "see no evil" just don't understand one simple fact: Human existence cannot be controlled by some legalistic vote. It's hand to hand and heart to heart. So much for our good ol' boys in Washington DC!

blessin's, and I love the photography on your link site. [(Seven carpets an a pregnant goat? Hmmmmm. . . . your other visitors have to go there to find out why I commented on this. Worth is always in the eye of the beholder, but I'd rather take cash (lol). And if that gorgeous smiling woman in the photos is your wife, you done real good in the Congo.]

blessin's, and happy holidays to you,
