Dark Fated

Sonorous

voice rising

proclaiming

greatness

love

life

liberty

justice

not for all…..

shackles

mace

pain

for those deemed a threat

deemed unfit

incapable of following orders

wanting only to have voices heard

from time ago

still ignored.

Ignorance is not an excuse

lackluster approach

no longer willing are they

to dance to the tune

maddened despot

frothing

spittle spray

braying

no one loves me.

Stand upon the pulpit

grandiloquent

hands gesturing

spouting inanities

lies falling

deranged lips

a dream world

lived in

ruled by

tyranny

slowly seeping into reality.
