Irresponsible

When heads of state lead a country
without being able to lead themselves,
then the people are dependent
on the machinations of this leader,
on a single person
who decides what is good and evil
to the advantage or disadvantage
of the people,
who even calls for war
without realising that we are all one,
plunging the people into a bloodbath,
recklessly and without hesitation,
ultimately thinking only of himself
to satisfy his hunger for power and ego.

The people must follow
through punishment and threats,
they are caught in a spider’s web
of lies and propaganda,
of false promises, wrong facts.

This violence shows no peace,
it is an expression of inner violence,
of an inner war,
of not seeking the fault in oneself,
but always in others,
in order to create an enemy and a reason
to pursue selfish goals.

State power should not be based
on a single person,
whose own mistakes fall on his feet,
which spill over onto his own people.
