Premium Member A Hypocritical Congressman
A congressman expounding democracy
gives speeches eschewing autocracy
But at home he's a sheikh
letting no one else speak
making his world safe for hypocrisy

Chain Gang
Is democracy sinking
into feral autocracy
The billionaire elites
with all the control

Politicians but puppets
where rich pull the strings
The rest of us lost
in deception and whim

(Dreamsleep: April, 2022)...

In a democracy, the leader aligns himself with the people
    In a theocracy, the leader aligns himself with God

  In a bureaucracy, the people fall in line behind the leader
    In an autocracy, the people are peas in a pod...

Trump Is Hypocrisy In a Democracy
Trump Is Hypocrisy In A Democracy

What you hear out of  Trump is hypocrisy,
While being critical of our dear democracy;
Was revealed,
Things concealed;
He likes living in a monarchy or autocracy.

Jim Horn

Hope everyone understands this one....

Movements
Movements arise, much to our surprise, protesting against autocracy.

We interpret the fight, as being just, and right, and favoring democracy.

But what if we’re wrong, and it’s just a swan song, to disguise something more fundamental?

We’ll have to rethink, or swim and then sink, ‘cuz it could end up somewhat detrimental....

Dissolute Monk
I am like a Siberian tiger
Creeping through taigas
Looking for great power

A letter arrived one evening
Praising my hypnotic gaze
And you craving a carnal touch

I arrived with a prophecy
My magic cured Tsarina’s son
And led me up to autocracy

You can shoot me, poison me
But I will rise again, you will see
The evil protects me eternally...

Your Excellency
The facade of your election;
Brings no accolade to the nation;
Your ambitions lack honesty;
And your actions are a travesty.

You travel abroad to collect honors;
Yet you ravel the region with horrors;
Some describe your style as canny;
Yet all ascribe your rule as tyranny.

With only your candidacy;
We have the ascendancy of autocracy;
We lack the decency of democracy;
We observe the supremacy of idiocy....

The Obsessed With Supremacy
The obsessed with supremacy
Always quits with immediacy:
To whom “Challenge me not” is a policy, 
Unaware of its sad deficiency.

Everything wears its intricacy,
Even Justice of Wide Advocacy, 
The Sick’s Drug-Providing Pharmacy, 
Kitchen with a sought delicacy 
And Righteousness linked with Adequacy, 
Death seeking often our intimacy 
But sure floating an Autocracy!

Now, tell me why Seekers of Supremacy 
Shall smell Death’s Sincere Mercy....

Mediocracy
          Along the simple path we plod 

                       Bureaucracy
         With a maze of obstacles to trod

                         Autocracy
       Also trying to dodge the hit squads

                         Theocracy
      Steering clear, of banned lesser gods 

                         Plutocracy
     Ride on through, wielding big fat wads

                         Democracy 
  A minefield of all above, behind the facade

King Faces Change
A king walking with majesty,
Reflecting on their Dynasty:
A Legacy of Modesty;
Medals for shows of Honesty,
Quick grants to outlaws Amnesty
Zero case of Pederasty...

But now subjects eye Democracy,
On his brow glimpse Autocracy,
Prejudice now court;no mercy
Their hunger for change so racy 
Either they or change is crazy!
"Yes, I've seen they're now lazy!"
Kings should business reduce with charm,
Cease nobly holding subject's arm;
Start in this for seeing pure harm....
