faith, standards and honorable ethics
are blowing in the wind
yesteryear's rules
crushed and twisted
you do bad things
you end up a media god
oh my
see the direction we're rushing to
look from whence we came
those of the past
where handshakes were honored
ahhh . . .
the sad, sad
truth is
we could do worse
than sticking to the Golden Rule

WHEN WEASLES RULED THE WORLD! I hear ya!
The golden rule is one of my favorites.I would caution you about that part about "I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine" It has been my personal experience people would rather you asked them to scratch your back than you just start scratching theirs. It weirds them out, especially strangers.
Enjoyed your poem

Weasels are still ruling the world, Lori. Appreciate your input.

Swampguy - When the stopper is pulled from the sink, the water starts running out. History shows empires begin their collapse from the inside out when the morality turns upside down, the economy starts to crumble and what was totally wrong yesterday suddenly becomes totally right today. Whoa! What a topic to ponder. Just saying...! Much enjoyed this work swampguy and I'm glad you wrote it. Namyh

Namyh, WoW! You made my day. I completely agree with you, I believe America is on a downhill slide that cannot be reversed. Thank you so much for your savvy input.
