The Tyrant Rising
The tyrant Rising
The flow, before the storm,
Gush, before the crushing,
Blood, spread with the squashing,
Liberty spurned, Freedoms decay,
Tools of the Tyrant born.
Pulsing rave conducted, classic,
Citizen slave, ever the same,
Fooled with deceit, the other to blame,
Return to the cave,
Goal of the tyrant born.
Spoken change, given to the air,
Swirling ever born, Slanders truth,
Hate the slur of wealth,
None but privileged few,
Bounty of the tyrant born.
Raise the arm, call the halt,
Family reduced, child eliminated.
Given to greed’s spoor.
Fascists rave, nation the knave,
Given to the tyrant born.
