Power-Crazed

the ink sealed a people's fate,

   their land is doomed, it's too late,

      for the power-crazed minds decree:

         hail, land of the brave, home of the free;



boardrooms shake with banter,

   with insolent, venomous laughter,

      distilling all ruthlessness and rage,

         all the curses, blasphemies of this age!
