Poem Title:
Poem
They said we were equal That is what they made us believe However they acted different Responded with greed He laid out the rules For all of us to read Pretending to us That he will do good deeds He pretends to be kind Loving and care A natural leader That many could bare We chose him to lead us Guide us the right path And so he did Until one day at last We observed the rules That he had laid out They had been improvised Twisted and in doubt He had changed them Without our consent Forgotten their meaning He left a large dent They were disloyal to us all Except him and his helpers They were based on greed Not the people and others He is so selfish Inconsiderate, a fool We realized then We can’t stand to his rule He stepped over us Didn’t care for our food He took control And acted very rude He always spoiled himself Being a jerk He threatened with the military To keep us at work We tried to rebel But his armies too great Working without food Our lives were at stake I had a good friend Who had injured himself We told him the story He set my friend on the shelf My friend couldn’t work He said he would get help But help never came And my friend died in pain that’s the last straw We had to escape So we snuck out at night And put on our capes He remained alone With no one to rule He had been forgotten Because his rules were to cruel He had an empty heart That’s what set him apart For it was spoiled and rotten And that is why he was forgotten We waited and waited In the cold wet rain We had only realized What more could we gain We were finally free To work for ourselves Not worry about him What more could we need And so my friends I hope you understand That achievements can be accomplished By work not demand I have not told you Who he might be He is man Very selfish and greedy
