On Consideration of Tyranny

On Consideration of Tyranny Postulating on the human condition with due irreverence In incongruous arguments clawing at the conscience Endless are the vacuous tools used at will Of words like dirges slipping from the tongue Tyrants on their serpent’s insidious game Come with daggers at the throat of justice Those minds that seek oppression as their friend Firm ground is mired in cowardice and covers spoils Slips into history’s decay Two laws and worlds evolve, two worlds of different colors One is the hue of wealth The other, the black of poverty To fall beneath, drown away in pockets of perverted air Spoken in craven discourse over the all devouring depravity by such souls Sponsored by our friends of anarchy Drawn to that which is the black veil of life That in that darkened soul to sin, oppressors came to win Leave the world a better place? Hell does refuse them at the gate Is there a darker place to take them? They serve themselves so cleverly and deadly Clearly demonic but, rebuffed by Satan on the run “Get out of Hell!” He yells. “Find another darker home!” Repugnant In life and death their tyranny swims the sewers to breed Trolling for more lost souls to conquer As serpents garner favors from such darkened deeds
