Tyranny

Deranged man.  A chip off the old block.

Impediment - a chip on my shoulder.

Proletarian, it's so deceiving,

common man waits impatiently.

What will ensue may bother you.

Because of this curse it's not the first

of my mistakes.  I do what it takes.

Anxiety defines tyranny.

I found my life in a gutter,

found my words through a stutter.

Parsimonious with myself,

digging up graves of wealth.

Still I'm trapped awake. 

A dreamless sleep, the sun starts to fade.

Behind the trees, she whispers softly.

A trap, I'm lured to clutching my burnt offering.

Today's the day to bleed the earth,

to set our trophies on this blackened hearth.

All good things will someday wither

and when I'm called I shall so hither.

Reject, what I'm given.

Reflect, a slave I'm driven.

No destiny, same old cliche.

Opaqueness my hope,

living today.

Choke on your lies, open your eyes.

Hear me breathing softly.  Scraping soil off me.

My tyranny bleeds inside my soul.
