I'll take some heat off Redjo, I too am new and will attempt to post a political poem I wrote.

Violin, so low

The excuse will hurt worse
as the bad plan goes wrong.
Take the tic out of the clock,
is irresponsible to the toc.
Pieces of time crumble,
watchmakers tumble
down marble steps
of the facade.
Eyes on the lady in the harbor
near the coast,
nowhere the guard;
she wanes.
Scarabs cross the mesa,
bears descend the hills.
Oceans fill the rivers
and boil in the sun.
Watchmakers paddle to insanity,
to escape the pyre
coast to coast.
Quietly the flame is doused;
a suicide at night.
Coldly slow
the flow of a far off
faintly sound;
the lonely grieve
of a saddened souls
Solo violin.

    "Scarabs cross the mesa,
    bears descend the hills."

    Nature running amok, as in all natural laws are discontinued?

    Or are the scarabs a reference to our border problems...?

      Definitely the later except one world government would transform all of our borders not just the geographical ones. If the top 1% of the richest people in the world earn $35K/year wouldn’t you be in that category? What other logical conclusion can you come to but the US must fall if your plan is to give the world population their fair share? The US has 5% of the world population and 26% of it’s wealth.

        Why should everyone in the world have a "fair share" of the wealth that was created by others?

        Wealth must be created before it is redistributed. Those who create wealth redistribute it by spending it on themselves, paying their employees, and even giving it to other of their own volition.

        Governments (including a "one world" one) can only redistribute wealth that has been seized or confiscated from those who produce it.

        While its true that some individuals have inherited a great deal of wealth, it was the choice of those who produced that wealth how to dispose of it in the first place.

        The richest men (John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Bill Gates, among many others) in the USA (aka America) have a history of giving away vast sums of money, and many Americans (especially Republicans) with far less wealth routinely donate generously to charity.

        If and when the world become a "welfare state" with redistribution of wealth as the primary purpose of government, there will be a significant decrease in the amount of wealth to be redistributed.

        Atlas will shrug.
