The Path-‘Upward’ and Him

The Path‘upward’ and Him 

When he fought his way up from low,

He took all sorts of names: radical, rebel,

Fighter for the people, to name a few;

And in the desert, the wood and the mount, he spoke:

“We have to fight tyranny in all forms and from all,

All powers that be residing higher -shall-break;”

And was followed,

Millions did applaud.

In owe to his words fervently wishing him -succeed.

When he came up to the palace-where tyranny once been,

And the day of reckoning finally dawned upon him,

That D-day was in hand, tyranny gone, freedom-won;

He felt mused by power and with a stammered stance,

In meetings, campaigns and TV-window rants, he spoke:

“We have to fight tyranny in all forms and from all,

All powers that be residing lower -shall-break.”

And was followed,

Millions did applaud,

In awe to his vanity fervently wishing him – succeeded.
