A Sonnet
"The Tyrant" by Dolly'sPoems

The tyrant sees a selfish path ahead,
a feathered nest where only he will dwell;
a place where loyalty will never bed,
and constantly the devil threatens hell.

And treachery will be his closest friend,
and trust is just a myth, a dream, absurd;
behaviour quite oppressive he'll defend,
dictating and directing is preferred.

To topple men from power takes some courage,
their vanity is where they are quite weak;
and tyrants must not ever be encouraged,
built on dishonesty, foundations creak.

Disgrace is dressed in caring words at first,
until the truth sucks lies out with its thirst.
