the irony of tyranny

Hello. I just wrote this. Enjoy...whoever you are.


The irony of tyranny
Is crushing me
With its ill humor
Like a tumor
Feeding off the people
While being advocated from the steeple
Thousands gather in the street
To proclaim their disgust
Live free or bust!
Fear mingled with excitement
The enticement of a better life
One without strife.
Jack knife in the back!
Bullets whizzing
Chiseling into their bodies
Casings sizzling!
Blood and mud
Together in one morbid Vichyssoise
They pause
In agonizing realization
What they’re hesitation
Failed to prevent,
Circumvent.
But it was already too late
Fate has dealt a most cruel hand
There will be no farewell band
The deed is done
Just in time for the setting of the sun.
