Leaders that hate 

Leaders like Nero 

There’s no debate

They’re absolute zero.

–

Compassion lacking

Hatred up front 

Cruelty gobsmacking

Insanely blunt.

–

War is hell

A hell they love

Their people aren’t well

Poverty they shove.

–

Propaganda and lies 

Political machines

Mother and babe cries  

And all in between.

–

Murder or revolution

Will make them retire

A simple conclusion 

Like Nero and the Roman Empire.

–

Ché, Pott, Castro, Perón

Lenin, Stalin, Pinochet, and Hitler

Men content to be alone

No exceptions, a stickler.

 –

Death before compromise

Led to bitter ends 

Only now can we surmise 

What tyranny portends.

–

Societies fall, it’s no riddle

As the world turns

Nero and his proverbial fiddle

Playing as his Rome burns…
