Tyranny
A tyrant's reign is like a storm
That leaves a path of fear and dread
It brings destruction and despair
And fills the people's hearts with dread
The tyrant's rule is harsh and cruel
His words are like a whip of steel
He rules with an iron fist
And crushes all who dare to feel
The people cower in fear and dread
With no hope of ever being free
They suffer in silence, never daring
To speak a word against the tyrant's decree
But one day, the tyrant's reign will end
And freedom will be restored
The people will rise up in unity
And the tyrant will be no more.
