Painting 39 ©mogromo

were we ever true

to our democratic humanistic truths and

values made out of

talk but not practice in politics catering

to those hunkering for truths where truths

are food for people cushioned in

plush poverty

empty

empathy

is this the best

we can do as humans

needing to struggle in debates

values are not universal

not even within a village
