Absolute Power

Shockwaves reverberate
Throughout historic halls
When self-crowned
Kings overreach power
From lofty towers.

Insurrection

Those who cheer walls may
Fail to see a bridge too far
Violates us all.

Double Standards

Hate is never
An ambiguous monster;
Stark hideousness
Defines the beast
Full stop.
