An Ideal State

An ideal state? The brazen blare of trumpets sounds. As we approach the temple grounds the rattling kettle drums compete with ominously marching feet. The people gather here today in the old time honoured way. To hear our leaders justify why they have failed to satisfy. The peoples wants, the peoples needs. Explain their actions and their deeds The leaders have no other choice but hearken to the peoples voice. If they have failed without just cause. The peoples justice will enforce summary execution. A permanent solution. For politicians who have lied by all their fellows they are tried. Allowed to mount their own defence they must depend on eloquence. We listen to their argument and we consider their intent. Their motives are what we must judge This is no time for them to fudge. They ruled as triumvirate and so they must anticipate. If one is guilty then all three Will suffer the same penalty. If we adjudge them innocent by a unanimous consent. They can retire honourably having served us honestly. We the people make the rules elect the leaders as our tools. To do as we instruct them to They do not rule the peopled do. If we decide they are corrupt. The peoples anger will erupt. For them there can be no appeal it was their choice to cheat and steal. An object lesson plain to see for those who aspire to be. Part of the next triumvirate Chosen to serve our city state. Ours is a true democracy where every citizen is free. To stand for office or refrain. Those who have served may serve again. But every two years they must face the peoples judgement of their case. Honest men need have no fear dishonest men just disappear. Stripped of all their ill gotten wealth which they aquired by craft and stealth. They pay the final penalty they’re put to death immediately. The peoples will is sovereign Offenders will not sin again This is a dream I’m sad to say and not true of our world today. Today our world is ruled by greed. Use any method to succeed. rewarded for dishonesty. The people pay the penalty. 19-Oct-07 .
