| By brian francis With words inspiring beliefs unreal Tainted considerations presented as fact. He called them to his side to gather, reel, And he dressed in the garb of the martyr, Crying his accusations at the roiling crowd. Girding them for action he aimed their attentions, And drew back the bow with a flurry of noble intentions. He promised that he would be there at their side. He pleaded their loyalty to this appointed cause, Colored and christened hiding seditions gleam. He drew them along releasing the leash, he turned and went back to his thrown. He watched as America suffered his grief. Celebrating the cracking of liberties panes. Joyous he laughed as America cried. He’d finally donned the robes of tyranny. Copyright © 2021 brian francis |
