The Tyrant

Who in this world has absolute control
Can anyone alone do it all
People out there think foolishly
And it leads them to their downfall

One swipe of the hand can kill thousands
But how many movements to stop-
The madness that started with only one
Who assumed that they were on top

What does it take for reality
To sink into those troubled souls
To tell them that they're not, in fact, in charge
They're working towards transclusent goals

There's only one with absolute control
And He handles it with care
We' think we've the right to choose others' fate
So it's a horrible world out there
