WAR ON THE PEOPLE
The Emperor declared war on the people.
"The enemy is within," he said,
"And I will not rest until the people are dead,
Or at least the ones who do not worship me."
But he loved the ignorant people,
And they loved him,
Because he declared war on all the people
Who did not worship him
And weren't like them.
THERE IS NO RABBIT
Even when he doesn't need to,
The Emperor lies.
It's a habit,
Like a dog chasing a rabbit.
If you told him it was day,
He would say it was night.
If you told him it was left,
He would say it was right.
If you said it was up,
He would say it was down.
If you asked him to smile,
He would give you a frown.
He wants you to get in the habit
Of chasing the rabbit,
Even when there is no rabbit.
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
The Emperor does not know he's mad,
And that is absolutely bad.
It means that those who see him clear
Must quickly disappear,
Or else pretend they're glad.
A MASS DELUSION
To clear up our confusion
The Emperor said climate change is illusion,
A great hallucination
Of the entire nation,
All part of a mass delusion.
US WHO COWER
Before the Emperor came to power
He would bellow by the hour
About how the ruler was unfair,
And simply didn't care.
Now, it is us who cower.
GRIEF POURED DOWN
Grief poured down on the people
Like a relentless waterfall.
The Emperor had chosen them,
On a careless, passing, whim,
To suffer his latest atrocity.
***************
The people had committed no crime.
They kept silent and worked hard.
It was just their time.
Perhaps, on another day,
If he had not passed their way,
They might have lived another day.
But, today, they had to pay.
I WANT YOUR JUICE
I want to taste your juice.
I want to taste your juice every day.
A sweet and juicy jelly roll
Like you
Should be tasted every day,
And every day,
A different way,
More juicy,
More succulent,
Than the previous way.
I want your juice to fill my mouth.
I want your juice to drip from my lips.
I want your juice.
