INDISCRETIONS OF A PUBLIC PERSON

Anytime That The Majority Of The Masses
Refuse To Critically Critique
The Personal Character Of Its Chief
Wrong Doing Will Damage Democracy

In A Mudslinging Contest
Where Rumors Have Acquired Reputations
As Reliable Sources Of Misinformation
Only The Objective Observer
Will Be Willing To Wait
Until All Of The Facts Unfold

A Role Model For The Many
Who Travels Through Life
Without A Morality Map
On Which High Principles Are Posted
Could Lose His Place Of Importance
On The Back Roads Of Self-Indulgence

An Elected Civic Leader
Whose Mistakes Are Minimized
By His Devoted And Slavish Admirers
Is Unlikely To Show Much Shame
For His Habitual Acts Of Indiscretion

If A Scoundrel In Public Office
Is Allowed To Live
On A Daily Diet Of Permissible Prejudices
And On The Junk Food Of Falsehoods
He Will Shamelessly Assert His Innocence
While Blaming Others For His Blunders

A People Who Refuses To Punish
Their Favorite Public Figures
Who Continually Take Trips
Down The Road To Ruin
Will Soon Become Enslaved
By Their Own Inactions

Whenever An Infidel In Office
Confesses His Indiscretions
To The Voters He Seldom Serves
His Forgiveness Should Require A Showing
That His Confession Is Contrite
