Contempt


Our government...teaches the whole people by example. If the government becomes the lawbreakersatings of main stream media , it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become law unto himself; it invites anarchy. Louis Brandeis 1856-1941

Contempt

Born in a country I have been taught to honor
Respect the law
No one above it all
Now I see the leaders disrespecting the people
Taking in hand
What was once our land
They expect the citizens to fall in line
Yet their contempt does show
How can we not know
When the lawmakers break the law we honor
We become udone
All, not one
And society suffers in the end
