Downfall MAG
Behead the poets
 Whose words grew so sharp
 That they overpowered the peaceful strumming of a harp
 Whose words grew dangerous to the elite
 But pleased the ears of the meek.
 Art is dead
 
 Break the wrists of the artist
 Whose paintings outlined corruption
 In beauty or in bloodshed
 Yet these images thirst'd
 And stirred the minds of the common wed
 A threat to power, silenced by a final hour
 Art is dead, democracy is dead
 
 Cut the throat of the musicians
 Whose hymns and melodies grew too loud
 Whose voice pleased the crowd
 Whose music inspired nostalgia
 Gloating on how things once were
 Art is dead, modern music is misled
 
 The voice of democracy has gone
 Tyranny has spread
 When ignorance and corruption was set in place too long
 The people lost track of what they were after
 Only seeking attacks and laughter
 Thus the people elected disaster
 Absolute power to the war pigs and his suit thereafter
 
 Handcuff the judge
 Who only had a grudge and favor
 Which briskly allowed his sway for;
 To allow this injustice to be carried so swiftly;
 Whose sharp words, drastically concurred
 Everything art had to be
 Corruption has set, injustice has let art go unmercifully
 Justice is dead, riddled so fetch.
 Democracy was bled for, now democracy bleeds. Misled.
