Despot

His scrupulous actions
made them shiver
A word of protest
meant a certain death
So they stayed silent,
quivering in fear,
afraid to do
or say something wrong
As long as they obeyed,
did their work
and praised him
there was no need to worry
Once he was an idealist,
propagated equal opportunities
for everyone
without a class system
Something happened in his brain
since he legislated his power
An untamable hunger
to establish control,
to maintain his superiority
He imaged himself as an overlord,
a better version of a God
They didn’t have to worry
as long as they obeyed,
did their work
and praised him!
