The Tragic Games Between Rulers and People

Look for this tragic dilemma: 
either people have reached the real powers
and  handled  the weal of engine 
or government  done  the same
wiped people completely  out
from ruling, managing  and controling. 
Either nation harnessed rulers
through election, freedoms 
and other democratic institutions and values, 
either rulers slipped away again and again
from common monitoring, 
hooked  heavily  country by its gills.

At first scenario your fate going gradually
for recovering  and  prosperity
maybe slowly, after some disasters and calamities, 
discherishes and dishonesties
under the guide by community, 
but never lost hopes
the people who harnessed powers.

In the second case 
when government bodies
took powers on theirs hand 
the unhappy country and people
drifted slowly and implacable
for the stagnation and dying
through killing freedoms and justice 
in police, mass-media, election, 
eventually fatally 
all structure descended  to  repressions.
unjustice, wars, starvation, deficient
and multiple lacks and problems 
so familiar for Soviet empire
in its 7O year biography: 
theirs birth, increasing,
pride, glory
and total worthlessness  
and bankruptcy.

Our world has kept many other tragic examples
of enfoldment the worthiest scenarios
Look for the North Korean regime
or what  happened with Cuba 
under  the life-long  ruling of brave Fidel Castro,
honestly say two thirdth  of all nation and countries
can not to learn this art  
for their government firmly harnessing.
They appointment person, presidents and prime-ministers
slip away from  common control
leading with their  atavistic  desires  are  sordid  and sinister.    

God bless USA and West as whole
to be a good teachers for this world
that is the best advice that I told 
for the mine and next generations
who don’t want sacrifice their precious lives 
for the bad and cruel guiding at all.

Again deep truth, to write it is a good thing, lest the same mistakes are repeated, it would be nice to think such cycles could be broken, 'We Can But Try'. D.N.Read
