Notes About The Poem

" VIRTUE "MY PHOTO, MY PHOTO, ©

Virtuous and Unethical People

One of the worst things that

Could ever happen to a virtuous person 

Is to find himself under the authority of 

Unethical people and be, constantly, 

judged by them!








© Demetrios Trifiatis 
      29 APRIL 2020







*Unfortunately, we see this phenomenon in all walks of life when power passes into the hands of evil people who wish to punish all those that excel in virtue.

Maria Williams April 30, 2020 at 6:54 AM We see this happening now. And unfortunately for some when they decide to speak out , they become victims of foul play. Your words are so true my dearest Demetrios.....Maria xxx Demetrios Trifiatis April 30, 2020 at 10:33 AM Thank you so much for your honest comment dearest, Maria!

Panagiota Romios April 29, 2020 at 5:00 PM Lovely flower, meaningful verse. The world has to have rulers. In a democracy or a republic, we voters pretend we are ghosts and somebody else elected bad people? We have a lunatic for a gov in CA. No, I did not vote for him. But realize even non politicians can be tyrants Pamagiota cc Sillies ~ we did it, the egg is on our face. Demetrios Trifiatis April 30, 2020 at 10:36 AM The points you have brought up dearest Panagiota are true! Very true! Yes, we are responsible for the election of the people who govern us! Thank you so much for your gracious visit! Hugs xxx

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 29, 2020 at 6:52 AM Succinctly stated! Very insightful dear poet. Have you had enough of politics yet? ;), Love and respect, always <3 xomo Demetrios Trifiatis April 29, 2020 at 7:38 AM My implication with politics was out of moral obligation: believing that I could make a difference but the system is so unethical. Here however I talk about the little dictators here and there who hold a position in small places but cause a lot of pain to many people. Thank you dearest, Maureen. Hugs xxx

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2020 at 6:43 AM If there was a way to undo this, the world would be advancing at a much happier and more advanced pace. Demetrios Trifiatis April 29, 2020 at 7:48 AM I am with you dearest, Caren. The way is morality a word that the many have forgotten. Bless you my dear. Thank you and take care of yourself. Hugs xxx

Julie Achilles April 29, 2020 at 5:57 AM tyrannical leaders have done so much evil over history- thank God for democracy and freedom- a struggle many countries fought to obtain- and often won- Hugs, Julie XXXXXXX Demetrios Trifiatis April 29, 2020 at 7:51 AM What you say is true. We have big dictators and small dictators. The big we all see the little ones are among us holding positions here and there and use the little power they have to cause great harm to good people. Thank you so much dearest Julie. Hugs xxx

Tom Cunningham April 29, 2020 at 3:33 AM We see that time and time again Demetrios all over the world especially in countries ruled by tyrants and despots. I'm just grateful I live in a civilised country where I can vote and worship without fear of persecution. I feel for those who are constantly persecuted and imprisoned for their beliefs. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis April 29, 2020 at 3:52 AM How true your words my friend Tom, however even in countries like yours are those evil people who delight themselves by causing harm to virtuous people just because they cannot be like them. Just look around...Thank you so very much for your visit and comment. Stay safe!
