Pendulum



Pendulum

The trusting People gave you power
So very long you abused it like a squire
Logical conclusion when the Emperor ascended
Offhand, backhand, contempt and you derided

From within your ranks high upon the pyramid
Who you believed a pharaoh, decided ‘twas time to be Thurgood
So he trampled on your fields and shook you where you feel
Your risen anger more than matched by the People cheering his deal

Far away was another, who always did good by the People of his surround
Word was his bond and once in power stood his ground
Unblinking stare that unsettled all who dared
Sharp mind like a whip end that thrashed all who connived

The Machiavellian barons of power, almost irremovable
Banding together with their cronies and political dirigibles
Their systems in shock as the People solidify rather than crack
Revolution’s a healthy solution to revert back to Liberty’s Constitution
