Government 101

In a democracy, the leader aligns himself with the people
    In a theocracy, the leader aligns himself with God

  In a bureaucracy, the people fall in line behind the leader
    In an autocracy, the people are peas in a pod

Profound wisdom in elegant simplicity Gershon! I know I will always find a memorable gem to carry with me in reading your poems! Blessings to a man of the people - never a "pea in a pod!"

Such a thinker… “I could think of things I’d never thunk before, then I’d sit and think some more” Scarecrow (Wizard of Oz). Enjoyed!
