WALKABOUTSVERSE 83 OF 230

Poem 83 of 230:  ACTS

How policy gets into place
Is an issue that all states face:
    It happens democratically
    (All of-opinion - voting free/
    Part of-opinion - compulsory,
    With donkey-votes to dodge a fee);
    It happens autocratically
    (Sometimes involving prophecy).
What’s most important, in my case,
Is that humane acts win the race.
