Dictators
heart made of metaphoric rock,
lunatic emotion dwells in the brain,
arsenic flows through the vein,
entangled in the witch's lock,
corpse of human feeling of macaque,
more and more touchy for self pain,
carnal theme centered on self gain,
subjects nothing but object of joke,
nationalism is weapon for wisdom lock,
oppositions are suffered despot disdain,
citizen's moral kept at religious plain,
the power lust degraded to self mock,
peace turned to be hardest nut to crack,
hate and hate kept as unbroken chain,
drought of love and compassion main,
security of despot as unbroken rock,
