Okay, no poetry today, just a thought that I was “pondering” as I awoke this morning. Yes, it is political in nature, but without any partisan intent, as it is fitting(in my opinion) for all elected and/or appointed positions within a government or other apparatus that control the general well-being of its constituents.
…..are ultimately responsible for our own welfare or our own destruction.
Therefore I submit to you that:
ALL political endeavor and positions of public
trust must be challenged and vacated in a timely
manner as to prevent stagnation, and/or the sense of
elitist entitlement, frequently spawned by
the complacency of both those holding said positions
and those who are charged with their appointments.
and oversight.
