The Tyrant Poem by St.Richard Ben

The Tyrant



How cruel is love:

That it might entice a statue,
Then forsake it when it move.

That it might crown a man Emperor,
Then banish him from his kingdom.

That it might deliver a man from the gallows,
Only to have him murdered by its own hand.

Oy vey, Of all the tyrants known to man,
There is none crueller then unrequited love.
