A Short History Of Tyranny Poem by Sandra Feldman

The Romans gave you
Bread and Circus,
The Dark Ages
Ignorance, Poverty
And Religion,
The Renaissance
Rebirth of the
Most Precious Art,
Popes, with vision,
The era of Deified Kings
(dictators in waiting)
Giving more hunger
And, Yes, more Religion!
20 and 21st Century
Political Brainwashing
Permissiveness,
Social-Communist
Ignorance,
End of National Pride,
Death of Democracy
Downward, quality slide
Respect and Truth
Strangled on the side
With ruthless, Sedition.

Epilogue,
From here on
Only Hell can be
Next,
We already see
The Fires Burning
Down Shame's Street.
