Hands of Tyranny

These people
always like
to say that
“the gloves
do not bite”
but sadly now
they are being
used to shock;

But I do know
what it means
to burn red hot
for I once felt
very hot water
on my torso
and was quite
cruelly mocked;

“Never forgive,
and never forget” 
is precisely what
they always seem
to want to say,
but false leaders
always lie to the
misguided flocks;

They take from us
and manipulate war
to fool the ignorant
and betray the wise,
and that is exactly
why they scheme
whenever they are
off the work clock. 

Only a monster tainted by evil supports the use of electric shock to control other humans. You cannot change my mind.
