Notes About The Poem

Read up on what's going in South Africa's presidential election. Compare it to mayoral elections in America's largest cities... and Presidential elections and appointments... 

Demeritocracy

   Sadly, everyone agrees
   South Africans will reelect the ANC
    
    No matter that it's a tragedy 
      ~ it’s all about (the) race you see

Power and greed, can be in any sutuation. Even here! After all, both we, in every nation are composed of both evil and good people. Even the poor can be greedy. To clarify…like cheating to get free everything..I have met too many, whose slogani is BEATTHE SYSTEM,. PR

Mankind is not so smart but seems to go with the crowd of greed and power. JMO!
