Despotic Dyneasty

Despotic Dynasty Dead leaves of thoughts scrape along the asphalt of subjugation, but whatever we do we will not climb the mountain of surrender. There was a moment of freedom, a spring before the righteous, those who had promised liberty, took power, created new laws and a new layer bureaucracy, a jungle of words where individuals were trapped like flies in a spider’s web of conflicting rules; and it was winter again. At the whim of a president or a mere rumour you could be imprisoned forever as enemy of the state; no one told you why? And no one told us that sympathy is paramount to treason. Yet humanity prevails over official regulatory reasons. But the dream is after walking through five mountain passes, see the sun arise and as mist disperse, there a city of light floating in the clouds, and there will be a joyous cry from the dispossessed.
