The New Government

The New Government

A dark shadow looms large wherever you decide to emerge,
with a societal breakdown on the verge.
Peace is constantly promised but only bloody war is delivered.
The heartbeat of the country has withered,
but finally, their eyes are beginning to open and seeing through the blizzard
by accepting the truth that you are a no-good killer.
Your fall from grace will be quick and for you, bitter,
and from out of your shadow we will emerge as the winner.
From the ashes of your war we begin to whisper,
we will rise back up and completely recover.

You rule with fear by using fire and bullets.
You smile out lies every week standing at your very own pulpit.
You give your people weapons to use on each other,
before they turn them on themselves and spent the rest of eternity rotting in a gutter.
You call yourself a king,
the messiah sent to us to bring
peace and happiness and a land void of faith,
a land you call a wraith.

Suicide rates climb as your lies
Infiltrate the ears and eyes
of everyone, even those that have been baptized.
You sir are not wise,
and I see through your guise.
Today is a day that will be canonized,
but also a day that you agonize,
as you finally meet your demise.
It’s time to give praise and thanks to the incoming sunrise.

A seize is laid to your palace,
As your come out guns a blazing hoping to cause more malice.
You are immediately surrounded by all of the wounded,
all the broken, beaten and bloodied that together have you surrounded.

I stand over you as you look up at me and smile,
tell me you can’t believe I’m about to pass my trial.
You thought you had me defeated now for a while,
but I’m back and with a new lifestyle,
looking to show you just how hostile
I can be before sending you into a permeant exile.

I drop to the ground and stare you down eye to eye.
Here is what you get as a final goodbye.
I take ahold of a knife and press it firmly against your throat,
As you laugh, smile and try to gloat.
I slit your throat slowly and watch the life drain from your eyes.
This is how a dictatorship dies,
with a cold, quick end.
Now it’s time for me to go on the mend.
Chase off the dark shadow you will be leaving behind.
Rebuild society and heal all of mankind.
Reverse your policies, end your laws,
and show the world I’m here for a good cause.

This is the new government.
One that will govern with peace and love.
This is the new government.
One that will right and wrongs of the past.
This is the new government,
where the sun will shine bright every day.
This is the new government.
One where the dictator of the past will be erased from history for good.
