“A Man alone could never live
For this to achieve, a God must he be or 
A beast”* 

But

Since Man is neither a God nor a beast but 
Rather something in between, who is struggling the one to become, 
The other is to avoid, 
Man, in search of the company of other men constantly is, 
In order to stay alive
Thus 
Into a social being, he is transformed for 
His survival to achieve

Soon, however, the difficulties of his choice see and 
Fast he realizes,
Living with other men, the task isn’t easy at all, for
He has, with others to coexist and with them collaborate
Since there is a lot of disagreement,
For what is right,
For what is wrong, 
For how things have to be done
And
For how all men should behave 
So 
A set of rules has Man set forth to facilitate his 
Everyday life:
To live   
To work
To learn 
To build and 
To protect what he holds so dear
Thus 
The man finally transforms himself from a social being to 
A political one, the fact that has brought all of us to
Where we stand today!

However

A politician ought the best of the citizens to be and
For the common good to toil
He should on virtue’s anvil to be forged first,**, *** 
If we wish him our society to lead and  
Justice equally to apply

Moreover 

His primary concern must be the sharing of wealth
That fairly has to be distributed, according to 
Each one’s merit

And 

most of all, security for his nation in his heart
Must be paramount

For     

Above all interests, his country must be, 
Since without it
Nothing of our goals could ever be achieved, 
Because everything we can ever be 
Only 
Our society is able to provide!
