Shirt collars
This old man, how weak his voice
he should not be in front leading the charge
winning a war for the righteous
His work is done
He can sit in the garden of peace and think
of how to re-design the shirt for those
like Iranian politicians, not wearing a tie
as a statement, they reject the western values
An election in a country where politicians
follow the same rule, there cannot be a change
unless by a bloody revolution
He can also think that without the freedom
of expression, there can be no democracy
He can also, while having the time to think
regret that he often ignored the truth for
the sake of political advance
at that point, he can become a philosophical
and say weighty things like:
Truth is the ability to survive!
He will call his biographer to put his insight
in the forthcoming book.
