why isn’t it ‘NO one is above the law?’

why do we put up with slandering

or belittling or outright lies?

why do tolerate ‘alternative facts’

when proof and truth can be

whatever anyone wants it to be

rather than what is mindfully

agreed upon?

why isn’t the rule of law what

we demand of our policy makers?

what have we given up and

what have we gained by doing so?
