Impartial
litigation is what
sustains democracies
Kangaroo courts are what
sustain tyrannies
Does the judge
represent the rule
of law or the decision
of an autocrat?
Tyranny flourishes
when decent people
do nothing
Those defending
the dictator
pirouette with a
nonchalant indifference
as the tappers stamp
defending their case
for justice with a determined
fierce percussion
With their hands in the air
The jurors must make their
decision, observing, confusion,
is there a resolution?
What shows a judge’s gavel impatience
Ultimately, we the jury are the people
Autocracy or democracy?
The truth, my friend, is that:
Our body has enslaved us, and has made us serve it
Day and night, winter and summer, from the first day
It was born.
It never reduces its demands,
It is never satisfied,
It is never pleased, no matter what we provide it with,
But it always is asking for more without ever being
Happy.
If
We do not revolt against this tyrant of our spirit,
This despot of our mind,
This autocrat of our senses, and make it reduce its desires to
The levels of what is absolutely necessary for its wellbeing,
It would be impossible for our mental and spiritual growth to
Become evident, and the balance in our soul to be apparent,
Thus
We would, forever, remain slaves to this lustful and insatiable beast,
Without ever having the chance to become, what God intended us to be:
His reflection upon earth!

What does Grass do
When winter comes to town
Does it shiver its timbers
Does it freeze underground
Why no! Grass is first-class
How else could it last
Through snowfalls so deep
No sunlight dare seep...
Grass dons fancy jacket and hat
Wad of bills and all that
Bows to winter's autocrat ~
Who adjusts the thermostat
I stole millions but boy, I am proud!
Crowds just love me, I guess!
Even writing a book, people adore me, for crying out loud.
Learned that criminality, pays, no duress!
The Lion of Power is all the rage these days.
Lies and crushing peoples rights is de jour.
We've silenced millions in their social media haze.
Our latest, doubled masked wearing rage.
Of course, mass media is our left arm.
They are liars posing as the Ministry of Truth.
We indeed plan, for this nation, censorship and more harm.
Enjoy your deserts of yummy non- truths!
Notice, please....I keep churches under my rulings.
Job losses mean nothing at all to me!
Even, the Pope better learn from my schoolings.
Thanks for making me King of the Hill, in DC~ the autocrat,
Whom I always wanted to be!

WAKE UP CALL!
What's wrong with some folks in our great country?
How could they vote for four more years of … *schmatte?!
For one who lies his head off constantly,
And wants to be a mean, cruel autocrat!
Come on, America, you must know that
People will show us who they really are
By their fount of empathy, and what
They really care about, that's not bizarre.
Get out and do your job, you hear me!? Vote
For someone who is human, and can be
A very good new president – don't dote
On someone who lacks all HUMANITY!
This is our chance to scorn autocracy
To keep us from this horrid, horrid dread,
And maintain our beloved DEMOCRACY
Cuz, if you fall for lies and hate, we're dead!
*Schmatte – Yiddish word for a rag or an old, ragged garment.

O Death, how can I not resent it that
Your dire rapacity admits no bounds?
With no appeal… unmoved, an autocrat
Whose cruelty every human ill compounds,
And in the end all final hope confounds.
That you must come for me upsets me less
Than something much the harder to address:
For every friend and loved-one that you take,
My grief is all too potent to express,
And far too adamant to ever shake.

So you got into Politics to help people
I hear you say
This is your Rally Call
Your mission statement
Your soap box platform
But where do you come from ?
Who do you dwell amongst ?
What experience do you have ?
Of despair and poverty ?
Fear of crime
And what the future holds for your children ?
Then I ask you sincerely ?
How on earth are you going to help me exactly ?
And why should I vote for you ?
Just because you are the lesser of 2 evils
Because when all is said and done
That is the underlying Political Reality
Whether it be them or you
There is nothing anyone can do
Every Ism and Ideology
Has been tried before
With little or no joy
The Poor remain Poor
The Rich get Richer
You get the Picture
A vote only counts up until the moment
The ink dries
And the lies begin in Ernest
Burnt again for 4 more year's
Until voting time comes round again
And resurrecting the bleats and tweets
Vote for Change
Yes we can
Let me help you
What's New
Once upon a shining star
There came a man who would be czar
Never been to the laundromat,
He always was an autocrat.
Born to wealth with silver forks and spoons,
Commoners he felt were big buffoons.
Married some, others merely subpoenaed
Finally he wed a gorgeous sweet czarina
He bought her houses, towers good and gold.
She was beautiful, young as he was old.
He wanted to keep her under absolute rule.
But he also wore diapers and did a little drool.
She ran off in the middle of the night with her son so fine.
The czar was quite angry and yelled, “Prove he was mine!”
in his hand the wheel
his mind the power to steer
mankind the fuel

1762 Catherine the Great:
"Moi, je serai autocrate: c'est mon métier.
Et le bon Dieu me pardonnera:
c'est son métier."
2017 Donald John Trump:
"Me, I will be an autocrat
That is my job
And God will forgive me
That is His job!"
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
Aquatic nymph to dragonfly.
A rainbow coloured acrobat,
With diamond facets in each eye.
Feeding on wing, as they terrify,
Their prey of wasp, to midge and gnat.
Aquatic nymph to dragonfly,
It's changing colours do belie,
This natures fearsome autocrat.
With diamond facets in each eye,
Diaphanous wings to soar on high,
A fearless creature in combat.
Aquatic nymph to dragonfly,
It's flights of fancy in the sky,
Weaving a rainbow ribboned plait.
With diamond facets in each eye,
One final act before they die,
Creating life. - ensuring that,
Aquatic nymph to dragonfly,
Yet both are one, to swim, then fly.

now that I have your attention, please read and comment
on my other pieces of work
Thank you
A Fascist I admit I am,
A self-proclaimed Autocrat
It’s not as if I’d give a damn,
Should someone call me that!
Despot Lord of my Domain,
A Kingdom thrives within my brain
On Monarch’s throne I’m quite at home,
With Sword and Crown to reign…
Caught in a Cats-hat
You obviously admire the bestiality of a canine,
Hence , you probably find me rather asinine
And the confident swagger of a *****-cat
Is grossly superior to the airs of this pretensive plutocrat.
So you will , alas, never be my concubine,
Due to my propensity for the libertine,
(not to mention the table wine)
I do not have the means of an autocrat
And have only the sensibilities of a pornocrat.
Your disposition to adore the canine and the feline
Makes me feel like a philandering Philistine.
I will always be such a yellow-dog democrat
That I quite threaten to knock off your high hat.
And now for the denouement, my valentine,
For your humble blessings I repine
For the company of furry, felinous, feral Sumi-cat
I do so miss inhabiting her habitat.
g Tiberius
