flippant foe

Power intoxication

We use to be friends
And the best help each lends
And like would a brother
We were for each other
Then one savory day
In the month of may
From us you were stolen
And our hearts went swollen
You held out your gun
And kept us on the run
You pulled your trigger
And shot a n****r
Then you smiled a hero
You flippant foe!

Author's Note

A friend in power is friendship lost. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So the saying goes

Thanks so much Mr Joseph. I really want to get criticisms for my works. I want to improve my works but I want to know on which areas I need to improve. Thanks for your kind words
