Political Prose

Liberals make mistakes; Conservatives
Prevent corrections. Precedents in stone
Subvert enduring solutions. Perhaps
Because the opposing ideals are awry.
I think not. The two are ne plus ultra*.
It’s Man that's flawed with hatred, greed and pride
That clouds his ability to govern
And winds up diametrically opposed.
Is there a permanent resolution?
I hardly think so. Why? Man has fallen
From grace and left him with an imperfect
Nature doomed to bungle, fumble and whine.
So what can we do? Choose up sides, of course,
And start a game without a referee.
*The highest point capable of being attained

'falling from grace?'

like 'falling' in love
is beyond the law of gravity...

'falling from grace?'

like 'falling' in love
