DICTATORS AND AUTHORITARIANS
The days of dictators are ending
Authoritarians as well
They do no good and lots of evil
These simple words are their death knell
+
They are the words of all the prophets
And all sages everywhere
They say, See, see, don’t understand
They say a house divided falls
+
A word of love, a word of good
Falls on deaf ears and hardened hearts
So how can we be free of them
Their tawdry ways and demon acts
+
By looking inward, saying no
I am the ruler not these dolts
I cannot not die, I’m free to go
I will transcend their pomp and show
+
I stand with love and comprehending
They demur, I simply laugh
I know they’ll have a lovely landing
Dying and living again
+
Their day ends when we wake
And freely choose a better way
Stash drugs, sad habits and addictions
Letting better feelings play
+
This globe is a democracy
Ruled by a power we call us
Knowing all of us are One
Knowing we are made of love
