Coup d'etat.

by Steven Beesley   Feb 28, 2006


Coup d'etat:

Like a story from the pages of a history book, such drama was unfolding as the small gang of rebels tried a coup in their feeble attempts.

Throw out the dictators, these young separatists filled with their misplaced dreams of power and false sense of reality.

What can they do that so many have tried, yet have failed terribly and so miserably so many eons ago?

Can they ensure their jurisdiction by acquiescence of the populace, claim their legitimacy?

Such trouble from the start, foolish dreams that have been tested ten-fold before, all have failed, there is nothing much new yet they will in time become despised.

Those of us who have seen this before, yet again we see another marauding band of bandits in sheep's clothing. False pretense for selfish vested gains.

Half wits, full of empty promises for empty heads, but not for you and I. So do not say this this is done in our name.

Rebellious to the end, never realizing that it is all the same till next time someone new will come play and beat them at their own game.
