More is essential,

The mocking must stop.' By those who raid public revenues ' non stop ' billions
Funding wars and trafficking also worse.'
Abominations and life quality to reverse.' 
They spit in your face and tell you its rain'
Advise suffering is your pre-ordained.' They showboat whilst homelessness climbs.' There is talk on security, as they
Bring on crime..The prate of peace yet plan much war.' They talk much of folk
Value yet ignore its lore, that could usuage current; world loss and pain.' Pay
The real value of human labour, let positivity negate iniquitys morbid reign

Too many politicians and not enough Statesmen. All about power. An acquaintance of mine, studied political law. Brilliant man! Became a family lawyer. Political law too dirty. Not easy to get the common man to make such dangerous sacrifices. Voting is often like a slot machine...pull the handle and get all lemons. Look what is going on in New York, Mamdani vs Cuomo -- they both stink in my opinion. Cuomo drops out then Sliwa has a chance. Cuomo will never do what is right.

Hello Joe, You’ve laid it out, the hypocrisy, the exploitation, the way suffering gets dressed up as inevitability. That line “They spit in your face and tell you it’s rain” hits hard. It’s bitter truth, and you don’t soften it. Well Said! Autumn Blessings, Joe, Daniel

Thank You Daniel..I suppose we must add what we can from lived experience. We cannot cover all bases, yet to contribute is something that helps?
