Leader

we begged so long just to leave giving into greed and theft so we stayed and we hailed to the last one left everything was gone the streets were almost quiet so few of us remained that had lasted through the riot we sat and we waited as the rain would start to pour but we never understood just what we were waiting for we begged so long just to leave giving into greed and theft so we stayed and we hailed to the last one left we knew it all along that he would bring us to the end always hoping also knowing that he had no hand to lend as we watched the last one rise and we fell upon our knees we knew regrets were not regretted and our prayers were never seen we begged so long just to leave giving into greed and theft so we stayed and we hailed to the last one left
