Tyrant Eulogy
Outside,
ears to the door
listening to the sounds
Eavesdropper,
Don’t say a word
to me, to others
GO,
Leave straight away
You have heard enough.
You have hurt enough.
Opened and closed doors
Everyone!
in they came
out they went
Everyone!
not a soul you spare,
your despair
Everlasting.
They obey,
though not ready
to embrace
Your sudden lunacy
Tyranny!
A pity, really
for what’s done
or forgotten.
But those who stood by you anciently
Forgot to turn up
And embrace your sudden madness
A pity, really.
