Our home – our sanctuary; burnt selfishly by one
Your rules – your power; crumbling beliefs into none
Our tenancy – our commitment; faithful to withhold
Your landlord – your failure; corrupt as foretold
Our hopes – our dreams; fruitful and cherished
Your goals – your priorities; careless without merit
Our freedom – our country; fractured in two
Your corruption – your war; ignited by you
Our lives – our world; snapped like a crucifix
Your game – your army; a mockery of politics
Our script – our story; perished between pages
Your future – your saga; a library within cages
Our time – our presence; miserable at best
Your light – your world; a pipe-dream, no less
