By Stephen Cheng Freedom, peace, equality They are all noble causes Causes that you claim to represent But I see that it is all a lie I respected your leadership I thought you would establish a regime by the people But now I know I was a fool Your government is one that would rule through the sword You are no better than the old order In fact you may be worse Your predecessors utilized repression as a means to stay in power You in turn will use your secret police the way a drug addict clamors for another high You will declare your political enemies as traitors to the revolution You will purge those who oppose you You will surround yourself with sycophants You will think that you know best But I have news for you You are already weakening Unlimited power will spell out your demise The blind obedience of your followers will only lead to your complacency All the while the dissidents will gain influence There will be others who will attack your regime And expose your tyranny There will be another revolution It may take days, months, or years But your reign will not last forever Your death warrant has already been signed It is just waiting to be delivered History will judge you well You will be remembered as a tyrant One who preached that the people must rule But in reality created a blood- soaked nightmare |
