Taking his dog for a walk.

Politics, power, democracy, and human rights An image can say more than a thousand words A good moral are not always a good solution to the political challenges Do you know that a dog has about 100 different face expressions Everyone agrees that the dog is human's best friend The dog's devotion, righteousness and love 17.06.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

This is unbelievable Anne-Lise, that someone would come up with a picture that speaks of something so real. You have expressed it nicely. Sorry we in America have such a poor example of leadership, at the moment. I didn't vote for him. Don't blame me. Keep writing.

Yes, an image can say a lot, Anne-Lise...and this one sure does!! (referring to the poem, and the picture.) Beware of corrupt politicians...but should not voters shoulder some of the blame:) Hugs // paul

All politicians are not false, but majority of them are power seekers. i liked the line "A good moral are not always a good solution to the political challenges", it's absolutely true. First thing is be considered about what is moral? A moral of one is immoral of other. You have said about a good moral which universally acceptable. As the degree of acceptance varies, so the politics continues..... Beautifully done my lovely dear friend. Loved always, bl

I would choose the devotion of my furry friends over the power of politics any day. One day in the future humans will have the courage to stand up for their own rights and squash the greed and power . Or is that in my Dreams Anne-Lise? One can only Hope...Maria

- Hi Maria - It should have been done a long time ago ... but nobody dare - Some people should never have a "big power" that can change the whole world ... - Dogs are more to trust ... I go for a walk with my dogs ... in peace ... and tail up :) - Thank you for your friendly visit and great comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
