A politician
is a box full of boxes.
Empty packaging
that gives hope of substance
but only delivers
disappointment
box after box after
box.

"Ashes, ashes, all fall down."
--Ring Around the Rosies (Children's Song)
"...and we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
--Book of Common Prayer (Anglican)
We are intelligent ash. Eventually we crumble and become dust. Do the echoes of our thoughts sift through living ghosts and smudge inspiration on strange minds?

This is so, so, so appropriate, a must-read right now in my country, with the national elections less than three weeks away. ;)
And it was written on my birthday month, yay. Haha.
Oh, but hey, now I'm probably going to associate boxes with politicians. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor boxes.
Chuckles. ;)
It seems politicians are the same in every place. What a sad thing to have in common. ;) Thank you for commenting. I have been away from writing too long. Things are starting to settle and maybe I will be able to write more frequently. :)
