An Obsessive Thing

How come most politicians to power desperately cling
As if in life this is the only thing
Power over people is the dictator's idea of ultimate success
Where their military any voices of dissent suppress
In Countries governed by dictatorial leaders any criticism of the leaders in public is banned
And from their citizens ultimate respect the autocrats do demand
Anyone who dare to publicly speak against the regime and it leaders will be murdered or spend a long term in jail
Fear of reprisals among the disasatissfied to bind them to silence never seems to fail
Even democratically elected political leaders to cling to power lie
The god in public they do not worship is their god of the i
Power for the love of it is an addiction among the power obsessed
And for to cling to it they try their very best
Power to most politicians self satisfaction does bring
In the minds of the egotistical it is an obsessive thing.
