Poem about tyrannical leaders
Ne’er they come down
From their horses high
The king’s crown
Jeweled like the sky

Monarchs of new
Gods of old
Their idealistic truths
Meant to uphold

They keep us tied
In strings of their power
Beneath shrouds of lies
Our will they devour

Their best kept secrets foreshadow the fall
The demise of an empire, the end of it all
