A new beginning, an old ending -
to be united all must be accepted,
and together have a common purpose.
As practiced, politics is intolerance
for people whose views or opinions differ, for this unites.
And without an enemy common,
modern politics could not exist,
for with but one friend and one enemy, a
politician emerges.
Taking what is defined & rendering it ambiguous,
much as practiced is power & vengeance,
and the power to have vengeance.
- politics, only as sincere as the politicians,
who have shown us, far more difficult it is,
to sustain a nation than to destroy one.
