Authority Figures

Authority figures, dictators in disguise
Blood on hands, zipping lips, truth they disguise
Power corrupts, their iron grip tight
Oppression and fear, their daily delight

They silence the voices of those who dissent
Suppressing the truth, their only intent
They rule with an iron fist, blind to the cries
Of those who suffer under their lies

I dream of a day when the people can see just how despicable these individuals can be.

[Mona Chrome]

That is creepy, but so are they. Preach!

@monachorome Whomever raised you did a good job. ;-)

Interesting take on the subject

[Wendy]

@wakelys I try best to research and maybe with all the elections coming up I am influenced. The definition I found was; a person whose real or apparent authority over others inspires or demands obedience and emulation. Lately the later seems to be the case. A democratic leader is a single person who rules by following the wishes, and directives of the people that he rules. So a democratic leader seems to be a better choice. I just want peace.

Strangely enough I'm working on new song for the next Changelings Album. Which seems appropriate.

I won't respect authority
Until they learn
Respect is not their right
It must be earned.

@swillinbillyflynn 100% :-) We won't be fooled.
