24.10.12 Poem

Benevolent Despot
Socratic knave
A tyrant's despair
Another label these days.
Who uttered the word misogynist?

Jostling for power
Embraced by Ego
The City-State's knowing wink.
One Empire rises
Another one sinks.
Is it better when we rejoice in your suffering?

Sufferance for pleasure,
Pleasure for profit,
But who profits from oil
That changes hands and is corrupt?

Knave.
Fools.
Short-sightedness is not overlooked by history.
