David Kavanagh Poet Monorhyme

Just Below the Radar

Mediocracy
          Along the simple path we plod 

                       Bureaucracy
         With a maze of obstacles to trod

                         Autocracy
       Also trying to dodge the hit squads

                         Theocracy
      Steering clear, of banned lesser gods 

                         Plutocracy
     Ride on through, wielding big fat wads

                         Democracy 
  A minefield of all above, behind the facade

I Am Anaya April 17, 2023 at 1:50 PM I have to admit it myself, the struggles the democrats have trying to pass anything to help people isn't surprising just redundant! But I too, would rather be nowhere else but here! David Kavanagh April 17, 2023 at 2:13 PM Heya Anaya, we really are so lucky to live in democracies even with all their imperfections, I feel free and that’s good enough for me, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Jenna Logan April 13, 2023 at 8:47 AM I have to admit that a democracy has become nothing more than hypocrisy. Leave it to you, my wise poet friend, to post your thoughts as though on a post office wall. David Kavanagh April 13, 2023 at 9:33 AM Heya Jenna, democracy weirdly enough is the best of all the systems I mentioned, even though its made up of, and contains bits and pieces of them all, like you said it really has become a hypocrisy, and indeed can be a minefield to negotiate just behind the facade, still it beats living in Nth Korea and Co, so must be worth fighting for, thank you for the encouraging comment, cheers David
