Control By Fear

Of despotic leaders we so often hear
And the respect they receive is the respect of fear
The fear of imprisonment and torture if one against them speaks out
Where one must suffer oppressive regimes by keeping shut mouth
Where many for speaking out with their lives do pay
Far too many despotic led governments in the Human World of today
Control by fear can be a soul destroying thing
The praises of their despotic leader out of fear people sing
To insure their survival they must behave in this way
Any unkind words in public of their despotic leader they feel too scared to say
To live in fear of speaking your truth is not good for the soul
Fear is the greatest weapon of all of people control
Far too many despotic leaders in the Human World of today
Who do use their power in the most abusive way.
