Venal, vain, vexatious and violent
acclaiming themselves omnipotent
those power-and-influence-driven
leaders whose nations quail in fear
lest they draw attention to themselves
remain the bane of existence of those
nations ruled by consent with the favour
of their public committed to equality
and opportunity, security and prosperity
for their people, conditions that draw to
themselves the yearning of the oppressed
who flee the oversight of their oppressors
to find freedom for their future in such
havens. Until the long arm of those they
rejected reach out to their sanctums to
threaten and repress, exact vengeance for
no distance is too far that executioners
cannot be dispatched to renew fears of a
shortened lifespan when the dispossessed
raise their tremulous voices in pain as they
cry out for justice, a blinkered saviour.
