Every country has the government it deserves.

[peeonahobo]

  I am a political mannequin.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
         - - - - - - - - - - - -
I breathed a song into the air,
         - - - - - - - - - - - -
Long long afterward in an oak
I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
