Tyrant - 2013

​Are you indeed omniscient and almighty?
Kindly saint whose words drip condescension.
I see the self-righteousness in your eyes,
Those piercing orbs of contempt,
You believe see the nature of reality.
Why do you think it is only you who suffers?
Why do you think that only yours matters?
Why are always you the victim,
If you are the one to dispense the pain.
Will you not learn white bearded tyrant,
That inspiring fear is not inspiring love;
That thinking so, doesn't make you right;
That one can survive not having it their way;
That we all have to make some sacrifices...
 
Selfishness might be a human failing,
But masquerade it as selfless charity,
And you will be despised,
By those who see what's under the veil.
Why do you act as if you loved us?
Why do you act as if family mattered?
It’s slaves you need, not family.
Buy some. That’s the limit of your toolkit.
I’m tired of fighting your oppression,
And hard words hurt both ways.
We gave you all we could give,
But our patience is running out.
Do you really wish to die alone, forsaken?
It might already be late to make amends.
