And it came to pass in the forty and second year of the reign of the judges, after Moronihah had established again peace between the Nephites and the Lamanites, behold there was no one to fill the judgment-seat; therefore there began to be a contention again among the people concerning who should fill the judgment-seat.
(Helaman 2:1)
Power breeds contention like a pile of dung breeds flies;
those who seek it stoop to bribes and rioting with lies.
There's farce and melodrama, and a bit of nonsense, too,
when schemers or mad dreamers put their ideas up for view.
When the people's voice at last has spoken in reply,
it may have been bamboozled and have chosen the wrong guy.
Will God stay at the helm of any ship of state so sunk
in corruption that its moral compass acts quite drunk?
