An ancient man has finally died
bringing no solace for his victims

who have starved and suffered and cried

in order to sate ethereal whims


eyes that have seen so much are dried of tears

needs so long drowned out by his vapid speech

leaves anger like a stain upon many years

fulfilling lives are left desparately out of reach


oh how death give no one the right

to demand his victims forget

how his presence caused them to fight

lest their complicity saddle them with regret


a decreprit, long-withered man finally left underground

an obscene cause to make apologies haggard and harried

especially as their trials and pain shall resound

they shall linger instead of his legacy now also buried.

1. Good work, neuvocat.
At least you are not afraid to say what you feel around here. The thought police are in full effect.
