another martyr
wonder who will be the next
one more life taken

he went through pure hell
dictator leadership
a sad price to pay

have been hanging on
fingertip will slip and slip
caste into the past

he wants to consume
dictator alligator
swallows each mouthful

hurt goes on and on
there is no relief in sight
life full of much pain

who will be scapegoat
are able to pin rap on
give them all the blame

ship started sinking
life disappeared into space
now no longer here

This is based on current news.
