Power Lust

I'd gladly tell them if they but would listen.

Entitlement now victims, are power-smitten.

Them against us — their power tool is mistaken.

In a dry-rot trap of futile defiance are they stricken.

Privilege is salient but acknowledging it is self-defeating.

The advantaged shamelessly turned to lies about cheating.

No room for Ruth for a cult, in an election lost, was beaten.

Little do they know their cynical stonewalling is weakened.

Bring on the tears on-demand and earn name-calling.

It all belongs to the hereafter and your mothballing.

You cannot apply what you learned to sanity reinstalling.

They rejected a king once but are happy now a despot installing.
