Eugene S.

They

They who bring me so many wars
When war is what I want no more

I must watch what They will do
For pain is what They send me to

They will never give me peace
Their provocations never cease

But some things, They can never sway
And that is what I\'m here to say

For They have sought me all my life
Beat me down with endless strife

In everything, I\'ve seen it through
Comprehending what They do

So selfish, do They seem to me
Greed consumes them so easily

And I will quietly watch them fall
They ... on their knees before us all

They\'ll beg forgiveness of their crimes
In their frenzied, broken, twisted minds

But a knife awaits, that They will use
If naively, I accept their ruse

Know this oh wretched, selfish thief
Your ruling days, They be but brief

For time is always on my side
And forever can They not reside
