Politics: On the faraway moon.

Political power. I abhor it. I’d not want it. And I’m leery of people who covet it. I’d rather live outside of politics. Maybe in the wilderness. Or on a desert island. Or on a faraway mountain top. I’d volunteer to join the first colony on the moon. Indeed, it’ll happen some day. Of course, not in my lifetime. Wonder how that colony will run. If it’ll be free of politics. I suppose every colony has a leader.  A boss. Choosing one. That may pose a political dilemma. Leading to a split in political allegiances. I’d be forced to choose sides. To pick a winner. And a loser. My gawd.  I wouldn’t even be able to escape politics. On the faraway moon. –Jim Broede
