Abuse in Power
When control turns to chaos

What happens to a hardened heart when embued with power?
It comprehends no limits and abuses it’s power.
Angry from years of feeling like their nationalistic views had no control.
Now their greatest desire is to bare sole control.
The verbal lashing it hands out breeds uproar.
It’s vain audience cheers it on and wants much more.
Make America great or will you make America hate?
The actions of your power dictate America’s fate.
Disguising vain imagining for the greater good.
The veil eventually falls off because the fake can’t stay for good.
Abusing power leads life to death. All ripe for death.
At this rate we’re being led to untimely death.
The descendants of old desperately don’t want to lose power.
Unaware that control in the wrong hands is a fool’s power.
He represents what so many of his supporters claim to oppose.
Yet their love for his dominance forever grows.
Because sacrifices have to be made for the greater control.
Even if that means morality escapes from the soul.
Make us great again. Make them hear us. Make them fear us.
Make them kneel to our power if they stand near us.
In time they’ll cheer us while they secretly plot our downfall.
The enemy will surely return to tear down all.
For that we have our leaders to thank once in tune with power.
They used their power to chew and devour everyone in their path of abuse of power.
