A Political Party, A Cult or A Club?

A Political Party, A Cult Or A Club?

In open-political party,

it professes to be,

bound by ideology, beliefs, and

principles,

ideology it sells in public domain,

to convince and to recruit members,

beliefs it promotes to win elections,

to form a government.

But behind facade of

a party-

lies inner chamber,

for hidden faces,

further down is a

concave with tenebrous light

belonging to unknown elders.

Twenty-four-seven,

concave is alive,

meetings, deliberations,

discussions are held

in groups,

among elders unknown

to the public

in unusual regalia.

Papas-in-council follows,

to fine tune deliberations,

review then ratify;

from conclave

emerges working document

promoted by known faces;

working document soon to

become law,

to generate policy upon

which society is

governed and led.

Policy births principle,

which creates a culture

everyone in neighborhood

adopts as a way of life.

A Party or a Cult?

Which one controls?

Papas or known political

Figures,

who rules?

Working document-from

which source-public or

private?

Whoever calls tune-

dictates the pipe.

A party or a Cult?

Which do you have?
