The Power's Venom

Many sat on the thrones with gilded lies, Most of them spoke of honor, sure they wore disguise. And fed us rot in a clenched fists, they took the seat! Yet power bowed at greed’s own feet! Oh God.. hear the people's cries, a distant hum… The justice whispered, yet they STAYED NUMB! All those promises built on hollow sand, What a pity! A nation held in shackled hands! How can we find the truth when wealth decides? When JUSTICE FOLDS! and when SILENCE CAN BUY? Remember, ‘A leader falls, but shadows stay!! It will only be a cycle that spins, still, the people pay! What a sad fact; how power blinded many eyes, And how greed consumes the strongest minds. How sorrowful! this selfish game made the nation fell! History speaks, yet, I can’t believe, NO ONE feel shame!!!! by MC_March 16, 2025 @10:17AM
