Hers was a curiously managed household,
full of nooks and crannies of indecision,
designed to magnify the impression
of nurtured democracy.
If one looked
out of the corner
of one eye,
sharply;
behold,
one despot in flagrante,
one military dilettante,
several discrete protest groups,
the raucous militant.
Freedom's definition kept factions well apart
heavens knows the uprising, should they ever start
discussions on its nature and they would all eschew,
individual petty politics, discarded to pursue
a common goal.
Her rule would overturn
in massed uprising from a central state
to one where collective thought
determined pocket money rate.
