An essay on Yanni
In this essay I will consider the social and political factors of Yanni. At one stage or another, every man woman or child will be faced with the issue of Yanni. Though Yanni is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, there are just not enough blues songs written about Yanni. Inevitably Yanni is often misunderstood by socialists, many of whom fail to comprehend the full scope of Yanni. Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into Yanni.
Social Factors
Interweaving social trends form a strong net in which we are all trapped. When J H Darcy said 'fevour will spread' <1> she could have been making a reference to Yanni, but probably not. A society without Yanni is like a society without knowledge, in that it demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.  Of paramount importance to any study of Yanni within its context, is understanding the ideals of society. Clearly it promotes higher individualism and obeyence of instinct. As soon as a child meets Yanni they are changed.
Political Factors
Politics, we all agree, is a fact of life. Politicians find it difficult to choose between what has become known in politics as - 'The two ways' - night and day.
Take a moment to consider the words of jazz singer Francis Lionel Forbes Dickinson 'Political idealists must ideally deal, for I daily list my ideals politically.' <2> This quotation leads me to suspect that he was not unaccustomed to Yanni. It speaks volumes. If our political system can be seen as a cake, then Yanni makes a good case for being the icing.
One thing's certain. The Human species liberally desires Yanni, and what's more human than politics?
Conclusion
In conclusion, Yanni has a special place in the heart of mankind. He enlightens our daily lives, ensures financial stability and most importantly, he perseveres.
Finally a word from super-star Keanu Poppins: 'I wouldn't be where I am today without Yanni.' <3>
