Of my creation.

When it comes to politics, my mood swings back and forth. Some days, I feel that it's a hopeless situation. Other times, I see a ray of hope. I bounce back and forth. I want to believe that we can get above the dirty, filthy politics. And start to serve the common good. But invariably, I become disappointed. And I tell myself, get on with life. Shut the door on politics. Ignore it. Because the individual is powerless. And there ain't gonna be a movement that brings about significant change. One day I have faith in the likes of Barack Obama. But the next day, I'm disillusioned. I find that my best days are when I don't even think about politics. I retreat to my cocoon. And live in my separate world. Of my creation. --Jim Broede
