Absolute Truth, Judgment and Lies

The Damnable Sin of Self-righteousness.
All of our leaders have their different views of human rights.

Our leader has repeatedly resisted calls to assume the moral leadership that is expected from. Rage, hatred, and bigotry are spreading like a wheat field on fire. Lie after lie, has cemented like and ant hill filled with fire ants. Do we want to live in a country ruled by a ruler with total power over our country; with maybe a result of genocide in our nation? Thousands of children might now become homeless orphans.

manipulation
sorrow, tide of fury grows
where are the children

His self-righteousness is destroying the future of human lives. People are out of work, which adds up to, no food on the table, no insurance for healthcare, car, or home. Not enough money to pay the house and utility bills. Will they be out on the street joining the thousands of homeless people!

When is this going to end?

I look at my hands
dark brown, green, black, red, yellow
with each heartbeat felt

"Politics" is a Greek word which comes from the word "Polis" which means City and the suffix ' Tikih" which means the science of...in this case...the City! I know our friend L.M. is making fun of the Politicians another Greek word! Haha! My dearest, Eve one to assume moral responsibility must know what Morality is , Haha! Wonderful writing!

Politics is made up of two words.. Poli, meaning many and Tics, meaning blood suckers. I stay as far away as I possibly can!
