Tyranny of the People

Look!
Look!
The people are still humming!
They don't know,
That everything will soon be crumbling!
Look!
Look!
For,
Like something in the plumbing,
He is coming!
And the world he brings,
It is not good,
To the people slumming!

Look!
Look!
How the people,
They will suffer!
Falling in the gutter!
Their lives will melt like butter!
Look!
Look!
The future smothered!
They can't recover!
And they wouldn't starve,
If only they were tougher!
Or had the buffer,
Of fortune and armies!
They mutter ,
Like the nutter!

Look!
Look!
Something does not compute,
But the people,
They are mute!
For their lives he did uproot,
With,
Blows from a heavy boot!
Still they were astute,
And silently they did impute!
Though they did not dare dispute!
Against the brute!
Against the leader,
They did salute!

Look!
Look!
For the people,
There is so much to fear!
Their world now,
A dangerous frontier!
So austere!
So severe!
And worry is always near,
When,
The country is not cohere!
Torn and divided,
By a tyrant!
They do not adhere!
Left in pieces,
By the commandeer,
Who came to domineer!
This man!
Still revered he is,
But everything he did,
All a plan!
The ruthless engineer!
