Morality unbound…everyone’s gone their own way…having opinions galore without any foundation…Many are taking the elevator to the abyss.

Gershon, democracy is messy for sure. Is that a bad thing? The poem questions whether this is an important thing to consider. Makes me think about what's to come. Sending smiles!!!

Democracy? Democracy… yes I recall that. Our prime minister in his first year, has cancelled some elections, changed the rules for others, is set on letting school kids vote and appears to be steering the country towards civil unrest or out and out war, so he can cancel the next general election. Watch and learn Mr Putin.

Republic better than Democracy. Democrat Republic is like Democrat Socialist.... Like a good communist. No such thing. Putin is an imperfect example. Yea yea, Trump is a Dictator. These jerks that say such a think, should talk more to people who have fled dictatorships, before opening their ignorant mouths.
