Kakistocracy
Mark the
rise of the Kakistocracy,
Misrulers of
wherever they occur,
Prime
minister here, a president there,
Or some such
grandiose sobriquet.
Falsely
claiming visions they don’t possess,
Being
rendered myopic by vanity
They can no
longer see humanity;
Making worse
every problem they address.
Politicians
who are vulgarly dense,
Enriching
the rich, impoverishing the poor,
Slaughtering
our young through their acts of war;
Gross mismanagement
through incompetence.
But they
only rule from their gilded towers
Because
people surrender them their powers.
D. A.
