Civil War

Oppression, riot, revolt, revolution, death

the endless cycle of civilizations.

The crowd gathers and each person's voice melts into one.

The cycle has begun.

Shouts and accusations, then a punch,

soon there is a brawl and the madness consumes all.

The crowd becomes one person, one mind.

Where is the individuality of the people I have once known?

My people at war with their country,

what a sad thing,

because many have died trying

to end the suffering

and overthrow the corrupt king

But how long before the rebels turn from

liberators to dictators?

How long before they too become overcome

by power?
