I wrote this two years ago.
The Time Comes
Dictators fall.
Even tyranny has its limits.
Like a pressure cooker
With the heat turned up –
Something gives.
Oppression creates fear
But fear can rapidly change to fury
When a certain point
Is reached.
People crowd the streets
Encased in teargas clouds,
Facing down
The faceless goons.
Shields are thumped.
Adrenaline flows.
Rubber bullets fly.
Trained robots charge.
Batons thud on heads.
But if the people are united,
Determined and resolute
The regime falls.
Opher – 17.8.2020
No dictatorship lasts forever. Sooner or later they have to answer for the atrocities they have committed.
Thankfully we have the United Nations and international courts.
The tyrants and dictators, the torturers and warlords, can be brought to justice.
They are answerable for their crimes.
Regimes fall and those in the wrong are held to account!
