Justice or magic show

sorenbarrett

The hangman hooded for anonymity, execution by decree, ordered and condoned by royalty 
Prisoner restrained, executed by one trained while the crowd is entertained its necessity explained
The king won't take a stand, all this planned, evidence canned, gone with a wave of a magicians hand

  • Comment from author about the poem: When responsibility is denied by officials or passed down the ladder it is highly suspect. For a leader there are only two possibilities. One: that he is unaware of what is going on beneath him, in which case he is incompetent and not worthy to rule or two: condones what brutal and savage acts occur under him and is therefore malevolent and a tyrant and not fit as a ruler. Consider a man elected on a platform of resolving immigration and realizing it an impossible task to deport millions of people. Solution for a few collateral deaths publicized in the media the nation will consider it too heavy a cost and he is off the hook resigning to public demand. At the same time the fear of entering such a violent nation will deter future immigrants.

  • Teddy.15

    Very poetically written, I fear that any president who hasn't reached his goals for his voters, like on economy and industry and the shameful Epstein files which he is clearly part of, will literally do anything to steer away from the facts , like finishing wars in 24 hours, which he couldn't do, the fact is he shouldn't have ever been allowed to be the President of the United states of America. Playing dumb when you are the most powerful man in the world is a simple task for this guy. 😢 Oh sorrenbarret when will it all become better?
