Depotic Dynasty Pasrt Two

Despotic dynasty part two 
And when we entered the shiny city…it was on marshland
and there was smoke from chimneys of factories, but there
were streets of light and stores selling lingerie’s we could 
not resist, there were beggars in the street which disturbed 
us greatly, and workers we had fought for were working long 
hours for little pay and no rights.  But we the middle class 
and intellectuals had won our freedom, in liberty to voice our 
discontent into a void as we’re ignored by the new rulers who 
had found a new way to disregard our demand for equality by 
cosseting us; and we succumbed to this sparkle of light after 
all life is better now than under tyranny; we know the masses 
are fed, and we don’t need to know anymore.
