Swollen Heads




















How power went to their heavy heads
And filled them with insane arrogance;
Their acts postured with swollen chest
Their voice rose in proud resonance!

The world knew they loved blood shed
From the day they felled a peaceful voice;
It’s only natural for them to strangle those
Who don’t keep to ways of their choice!

Patriotism is their reserved monopoly
And they claim power is theirs alone,
No use speaking to them with reason
Their minds sprint one track known!

Our souls are not for bowing to bigotry,
Our hearts can’t be ’hind bars confined;
Not by those bent backward in insolence,
To the One only is our being inclined.

From their thrones they’ll be thrown
Those who occupy God’s place in pride;
Not this day may be but the day after
Sure like the Sun, and they can’t hide.

If not this year may be the year next
Arrogance has a certain tragic fall;
It’s as natural as defecation in life
It’s a rule for creatures one and all!
