Dearth of a Dictator


Your excellency
Honourable, the President
Head of state
Commander in chief
The chancellor
Chairman of the party
Father of the nation
Revered decorated war veteran,
Liberation fighter
Arm of the state
Life president

Now that you‘ve broken the hymen
Of the virgin land, all have become common
Supposed liberal, turn prejudice
Idiosyncratic militia rule
Subjects subjected to servitude,
Vassal law to generations,
Subjected to iron fist
Through your self-enrichment scheme
Red herring rhetoric
Won elections for life

Your excellency
Blood thirst shaky voice utterances
Succumb to your own fears
Where gluttony thrives
Nation dreams falter
Your subjects subjected
A clown in disguise, son of imperialist
President of the defunct state
