Desperation Acrostic
Desperate, this situation
In which we are mired:
Court appointed hawks with
Kingly, covetous desires.
Cold hearted, these villains,
Hopelessly criminal, their reign.
Each new scheme so
Nasty, so completely insane.
Each one so misguided, it
Yields misery and pain.
Generous only to those
Evil like themselves.
Offering power and
Riches, yes, fabulous wealth.
Giving them our resources,
Even our forests so green,
While millions suffer and die
Beneath their war machine.
Under their iron-fisted rule, we
Surely can' survive. We MUST
Hasten to regain our will to survive.
