Frustration mounting

As oligarchs come boldly

Their riches in hand.

Elections bought and paid for…

Secret meetings seal the deal.

Buying candidates,

How much money must they have,

How can we compete?

Sitting idly by we watch

As the slaughter commences.

In revolution

This once great nation was born.

Perhaps it is time

The monarchs retaste our wrath

By drowning their precious tea.
