Vocabulary of violence
is the trademark of
this repressive regime

Ban, proscribe,
arrest, jail,
maim, execute!

Freedom is a poisonous
snake aiming for the heart
Of the despot

Activism is treason
that lands you
in prison

Criticism is opposition
poisoning citizens’ minds
against the despot

But right inside the cabinet
a coup brews that will take
out the despot
