burdens


poor deluded fellow,
you wanted power so much
you lost your head
lied that they loved you,
claimed that they wanted you
demanded that they have you
imposed that they love you
the burden of your hubris

you wanted power so much
that you grabbed it
left the world soaked red
your hands dripping with blood
your heart filled with hurt
that you smeared across the land
forced your “power” with a start
the burden of your hubris

you robbed the people of their land,
looted their funds
killed their sons
reaped their daughters
and still claimed they loved you
claimed that they would keep you
believed that they chose you
but in reality
they would kill you
for all the greed you reigned
on the innocent individuals
poor deluded soul,
