Tyranny
TYRANNY
Self-centred narcissism -
Lying, cheating, stealing.
Uncaring interest only in money :
A monster all want to be rid of.
You can call it evil if you want, but it’s
Lurking inside ourselves; it’s part of us all because we’re all human.
Cutting the head off the snake urges it to grow another.
Yes, of course, this is idiocy personified.
What foolishness - debilitated by sex and money !
Yet these human traits are in me and you.
This idiocy is the evil seed in all of us.
Such an utterly bad purpose in life -
To cast doubt over the goodness of people
In the world inhabited by our children !
Even after the idiocy “goes” the world won’t be the same as it once was.
We have lost the feeling of permanency.
We have found there is no end to the misery and deceit of selfishness.
