Like The Weeds

Like the weeds of the garden does stifle every flower This is what happens when people unworthy of such an honor are given great power Of those who do not admire them their rights they transgress They marginalize and vilify and them do oppress Every autocratic leader by violence does rule And to those who oppose them they are very cruel In human history so many of their sort far too many to name Who are only remembered for their crimes of shame That dictators lack in human people skills is obviously clear Their only idea of leadership is rule by fear They only tolerate those who loyal to them remain All of those who oppose them by them banished or slain They are like the weeds of the garden who stifle every flower Those who have themselves invested with absolute power.
