Brutus Lives



Brutus Lives

The Grecians faded, Romans declined and Hebrews were scattered
The foundations of Western Civilization lay in absolute tatters
Humanity entered the Dark Ages where unreason ruled
Emotion became emotionalist with superstition and incantation ascendant

Aristotle wrote ‘The Politics’ and it turned out to be a blueprint
Nascent incubation of a rational political bent
Along with Solon the lawgiving ancient
They wrestled with the concept of a Supreme Court set

Who to select and how long ought the judges sit?
A conundrum unresolved then taken on by the Framers
A court to rule Constitutionally but its vulnerability lingers
Into that gap rode political ideology and now it besets

Great Nations or Civilizations are ruined from within
Self-centered machinations propelling bias against reason
Hence the decline and subjugation of Freedom
The destruction of foundational institutions
