Theirs To Rule by Swissheart(f): 8:00pm On Apr 24, 2017
Theirs to rule
Ours to succum and hail
New day
Tales of liberation daily
New dawn awaits us
Dawn not so soon
Seat of power not ours to smell
Same name to bear
Old names still not leaving
No space for new
Fathers grab,descendants grasp
Others too naive to perform in power
Looters feeling fly
Not vacating power until they expire
Leaving their offsprings to dominate yet again
So is the trend
Till eternity ends
It is theirs to rule
