is the unquestioning obedience
of the citizens of their country,
which they back up with force,
and reward when the need occurs.
Such obedience never lasts long
and it always has to repromoted
to find it's place via the evolving
political paradigms of the day.
Would-be absolute rulers
who have to be voted for
have a much harder job,
keeping favour with the public
by riding the latest trends,
and massaging into submission
the opinions of whoever resisted
voting for them before,
to make them reflect their leader better.
Who knows how to escape
such consistent misrepresentation?
Every time a route is tested
the old binding becomes the thread
on which to spool a new generation.
