Despotism Is A Damage Poem by Kevin Agaba

Seated at home with my heart in fear
Bullet sounds reverberating in my ears
Bloodshed all over the towns and cities
The same thing happening everywhere
The world that was admirable to live in
Now weak and bleeding.

Despotism eating up the world
Leaders drunk on power
Saying a word sends you to the grave
Corruption turning into a disease
Spreading at a very high rate
Leaders becoming miss leaders

Parliament bought to edit constitution
Freedom fighters silenced and arrested
Nation leadership taken as family affair
Fundamental change turned to no change
This is so horrible and terrifying
The future is in the gates of hell fire.
