Untitled Poem of the Day #26

Crimson tides

blood running through the streets

sacrifice

pray to god

that the heavens shall hold

evil will not win

redemption is nigh.

Already won

evil wears the mask….. 

businessman

entrepreneur

liar

thief

despot

tsar

megalomaniac

tyrant…..

the list

the names

written in the annals of history

destined to be repeated

as each one escalates

propaganda to fill the minds

of those looking for

a reason to blame

to fault

all others unlike themselves

for their desire to roost on the sidelines

price paid

dues given

without their so much as lifting a finger.

Actions

bold

scarce

these men

these women

would kill this world

remade in their images.

Blasphemy!

Placing their wants

their demands

their belief

their entitlement to air

forgetting…..

there are those who watch

who wait

who will take them down

with nothing more

than cracked codes

their very own egos

misused powers

a rising of people ready 

able

wanting

to make the world better.
