The Tyrant's Justice

The dream of love is ever earthly bliss; The hope of love is found in one strong kiss. The tyrant's dream is that all joy departs From those he shoots with hate-compelling darts. The dream of work is material success; The hope of work is inner happiness. The tyrant's dream is every dream to kill, And every head bow down before his will. The light of life is justice, swift and sure; All dreamers and all lovers judged as pure. The tyrant's justice, he shall get it, too; His name be cursed around the world and through.
