independence

let us consider

declarations of independence

as remedies

for election ills..

democracy has been

 deadened

by flows of money

reaching ego ends..

competing parties mirroring

yet exaggerating differences

knowing one and all

precious power the prize..

independence

allows consciousness to

arise at last..

good then is found

in left and right

 shadow enclosing both..

paradox rules oppositions

and detachment soothes 

the din of boisterous claims..

new freedom

brings new strength..

 money flows 

lose direction when

feedback polls confuse..

and democracy then

may flow with possibility

once again...
