Tyrant
Does he lie and wait
Or does he try and take
What he truly desires
But his needs and greed
Burns with a fire
The world may not contain
What he truly seeks
With fists of power he takes the hour
With hands of time he tries to find
But his time has finally proved insufficient
And he has lost all his strength
Through acts of force and deceit
He tried to prove he wasn’t weak
But it was he
Who broke in the end
A broken tool with which he made false amends.

Hello friend; this is a deep one here man... You have a strong rhyme here, but it flows just right, it does not over do it... The line "The world may not contain, What he truly seeks, With fists of power he takes the hour, With hands of time he tries to find" those are good lines right there man... That is a good name for this write "Tyrant" it made me remember what it means to be meek and not weak, an honor and righteousness over might equals right... This is a great write my friend: deadwolf
