Politics, oh politics

The dark disorder of power and control has always been a Mess, unfair, cruel and abusive. Our times are not much better. You have written the summary of human political history with a wise pen. A fabulously truthful poem, to be remembered.
Thanks, Sandra, this little verse was written upon thoughts on what is happening in Turkey with hundreds of employees removed from office by Erdogan's absolute power and last night with Trump's firing of FBI director, Comey.
