Tyrant

 Tyrant

 by Petra Dijur

A tyrant is ruling the land

In Pumtr's fist my life is clutched

I am no more then a grain of sand

My protest has been shushed

Happily ever after will not come

A veil is descending

Death is certain for some

In half my life is rending

The world will never be the same

Sentenced to certain doom

I am put to shame

Over me death's shadow looms

Now read from the bottom up.

I was thinking about a certain president's current reign and how another  country is playing with nueclear weapons.
