Megalomania

insistent to have their way

with every deed, the weak fall prey

 

twist truth with repression or fear

quash all that holds freedom dear

 

tyrants wave horrible swords

implicit distrust in accords

 

clenched fists pound drums in war beat

drilled masses chant cries for defeat

 

demagogues play upon hate

threatening humanities fate
