       Benghazi and Book lists

Our world, one world
with Golden Rule logic
is a reality that tempts

pickpockets,
propagandists

and real criminals who invade
armed and ready to kill,
in one way or another...

That all humans are equal
does not equate to all are kind
or honest... or bright.

Justice only is because we know
it does not happen naturally.

There are far too many factors,
too many moods, too many demons,
too many grudges, addictions, drugs...

Crime and corruption and cruelty
are a reality anywhere and everywhere
there are people.

The rule of fair and just laws
is a library of all the many ways
we the people can stop crime...

because wishful thinking won't.
