POETKIND

when ideas jel
like honey in combs
where do we go
to tales tell?

who will listen to
daisies in bloom
a orange sunrise
or tales of doom?

for a poets mind
will oft be cruel
unthinking of you
your toils and wails.

I am sure in the 30s and 40s communists turned to the same poem when they despaired about unending powers of capitalists ;-) But concentration of power in a few doesnt disappear, they just shift from one set of people to another…

What Shelley was probably alluding to was the inevitibility of 'sic transit gloria mundi'. For me, this is not so much a question of economics as it is of aesthetics. Some of the most amazing monuments have been built by tyrants. And the Medicis/Moguls and the Stanfords/Mellons/Rockefellers have not been forgotten.

Also, the Cholas were particularly benevolent kings - and had a form of democracy called the "Kuda Olai system" Well, the cholas and the pallavas and the pandyas haven’t been forgotten - and they built (especially the Cholas) some big big temples.

Populations will ALWAYS need someone to manage & service them. right from the prehistoric tribe chiefs to today's lalus :-)) take care, dude,
