Dire Despot

by Lenny   Mar 6, 2006


Terror embellished,
Eternal scorn,
A fictitious villain,
Crudely drawn,
A belated truth,
Immersed in blood,
A hollow heart,
Betrothed in mud,
Sacrificial pawns,
Are left for dead,
A cynical joke,
In the blind mans head,
Pilfered power feeds,
His transiting lie,
A dead mans forfeit,
His strategies high,
Crushed opposers,
Crimson flesh,
Wounds protrude,
From gaping mesh,
Tyrannical fear sweeps,
Among the poor,
No opinion shall pass,
The oppressors door,
Impenetrable mind,
Impassable force,
An unused voice,
Soon grows hoarse,
Insanity cancels,
The immortals will,
Soon familiar blood,
Begins to spill,
Unsolvable villain,
Your days are done,
Fanatic fictions,
Load the gun,
Confinement in,
Your own cruel head,
Has arced your path,
To join the dead,
Horizons nearing,
The empire falls,
Desperate times,
For leader calls,
Your beloved successor,
Soon leads the way,
To a thriving country,
And brighter day,
Looking out,
Through hells vile gates,
You laugh at others,
Now hope filled fates,
A transparent cackle,
Through flame lit lip,
From a maniacal despot,
Who lost his whip.
