Tyranny

I reach down, my hand brushing the soil, The dead earth now charred and barren, decayed - All that we have touched is now grains in my palm, A madness that stems from a despotic rule. Our own fervour about almighty justice nailed. Is a fierce rush of revenge and power. Is this how we are meant to be? Tyrants of the world, embittered in lunacy.

The world is lunatic, that is why we need to remain at times, to protect ourselves from thieves. Those who rob us of peace of mind, love your poem Noel
