Control By Fear

Of despotic leaders we so often hear And the respect they receive is the respect of fear The fear of imprisonment and torture if one against them speaks out Where one must suffer oppressive regimes by keeping shut mouth Where many for speaking out with their lives do pay Far too many despotic led governments in the Human World of today Control by fear can be a soul destroying thing The praises of their despotic leader out of fear people sing To insure their survival they must behave in this way Any unkind words in public of their despotic leader they feel too scared to say To live in fear of speaking your truth is not good for the soul Fear is the greatest weapon of all of people control Far too many despotic leaders in the Human World of today Who do use their power in the most abusive way.
