Rulers rule
Democracy Hypocrisy whatever is the rule
Observe the common break down of those power spheres
The entrances to failure in any such old school
The local Pope or global King or any of their heirs
Stop listening start acting as if everything is theirs
Treat people as taxation cows expendable like pawns
Pounds into ground initiative blocks anyone who dares
If then their voters groan the ruler simply yawns
And keeps on stopping even when a better morning dawns
