This Constitutional Republic called America is an historic aberration. Any honest student of history will note that the prevailing socio-economic system is feudalism, where a tiny minority control the vast majority of wealth, power, and resources. In doing so, they have absolute control over the 99% of the population. Power equals control.

Howard NemerovI never abandoned either forms or freedom. I imagine that most of what could be called free verse is in my first book. I got through that fairly early.
