Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

Freedoms Just a Lie

Kim Jong-un is a vile
North Korean leader,
who hides behind a smile.

He places himself first
inciting war and hate,
of all men, he's the worst.

Cheering his cocky strut
you have the same rights,
as any other mutt.
 
You have the right to die
when and how he chooses,
for freedom's just a lie.

You have the right to crawl
and cow down on your knees,
as he makes you feel small.

You have the right to give
him all that you possess,
and be grateful you live.


(Tercets)
