On and on

It must be terrible
when your name
is Mugabe, Castro,
you fill in the blank,

being so old and frail.
They are the glue
that keeps the dictating
farce (or fart)

together, realising,
or not wanting to,
that a new world
is constantly

dawning,
waiting
for their demise,
the former heroes,

freedomfighters
of yester-year
now
turned sour.

They couldn't handle
the money,
the power.
They still believe
in the dream of

forever and ever.
That nothing will change.
Even when dead
and long gone.

But we know better,
somehow;
they wear Cinderella's
glass shoe.

They said and say:
"Someone make it fit
my awesome foot
or people will die.

Now I'm
gonna eat
the whole
damn pie."
