Democracy is not a political philosophy
it is a state of mind
of the adult mind
a sense of responsibility
that the buck stops with the self
and not the State
that democratic state of shared adult responsibilities
does not yet exist in the collective mind
The state of democracy that we laud now
is a premature posture
a mind of the State
determined and ruled over by competing ideological constructs
tied as well to religious dogma
and rebellious protestations
we pass responsibility on to pseudo-representatives
the buck never stops with us
we blame the other
when things go awry
