leaders are needed
to lead from the front
doing their best for all mankind
but money is power
and power is god
calling the shots
and telling what’s what
promoting relations
and friends to the top
crony-ism thrives
there’s (dis)honour among thieves
elections are due
to be held next year
and will changes occur
in the voting majority
or will they follow the leader
like sheep to the slaughter
it remains to be seen
if the mass has matured
and is aware of the position
but really don’t care…

Sadly, I think things will carry on much the same. 😦

I often wonder what God’s plan is, Maxi, but I’m sure He knows.

ah you call it like it is…the people asked for a king and in getting it realized how much they did not want it…but…we keep electing the same again and again…and if we are honest part of it is because we have accepted that we have the right to vote…for whoever they put in front of us…and no one else…

Ugh, puppets, dancing to their tune… and they call it ‘democracy’. If it is, it is quite unrecognisable! The joke’s on us, that’s for sure, and they know just how to manipulate their supporters…

I’m not familiar with your political system in S.A. Denise, but I would venture a guess that is similar in nature to ours here in the U.S. in that most of the voting populace are of the “my party” right or wrong mindset, which so infuriates anyone with an independent spirit and an open mind who is capable of deciding what is best for themselves and their family and of course, their country..Ahhh, how I hate politics and politicians.

They are a necessary evil – or ARE they?
