Political Obsession

Throughout history, those obsessed with gaining power litter history books.

Blinded by ambition, they usually sacrifice, lie and gaslight their way to the top.

Looking at politics today, do a good few still drink or seek a sip

Of its all consuming wine?

Who do you think is the next dictator, who will go down in history?

Title:

Political Obsession 

Like a sad scene from Macbeth

By William Shakespeare in 1606

Do those seeking control

Suffer cognitive decline 

As they drink or seek a sip

Of Dictatorship Wine

To get drunk 

Totally obsessed with political ambitious tricks

While seeking powers 

Absolute taste

As the world around them 

Where innocent people die in huge numbers and social economic structures 

Collapses

Quickly going to waste

USA holds so much power in the world and influence.

Moral of the piece.

Let’s find a way to stop bad actors taking office and learn from the past.

And if we do have someone bad in office, find a better way than war and aggressive confrontations, to remove them.

Or the past could repeat itself.

Salute.
