Tyranny Cheers.
As it plans the construction
of its own gallows.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it gathers resources
and sets them aside.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it enlists willing recruits
to assist in the making.
Ever so diligent
in every regard.
.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it builds up on high
from foundation to steeple.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it forms suitable rope
for the finishing act.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it ascends the great stairs
and on to the platform.
Victoriously saluting
the assembled honour-guard.
.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it places the noose
around its own neck.
Tyranny Cheers.
As it hails the crowd
and revels in triumph.
Tyranny Cheers.
As bemused onlookers ponder
and wonder the purpose.
Scratching their heads
whilst speculating why.
.
Tyranny Cheers.
For one last time.
Before taking the leap
and hanging itself.
Then finally realising
what it has done.
…
So to answer the question,
“How is Tyranny Defeated?”
.
There is no need.
For Tyranny is gracious
and delighted to oblige.
When Moral Integrity
Resolves To Stand Firm.
Being Fearless
requires no Courage.
Being Fearless
Transcends Courage.
Necessary Turmoil
Tyranny does not relinquish
power willingly or easily.
Turmoil is not only a given,
but a welcome necessity.
Turmoil destabilises
systems and structures.
Turmoil arouses the
sleeping and apathetic.
Tyranny itself,
will result in Turmoil.
Moral Integrity,
just needs to Hold Strong.
One that Seeks to be
a Hero or a Saviour,
is a Tyrant in the making.
Understanding Evil
While One is afraid of Evil,
One may feel compelled to destroy Evil
and in the process, likely become Evil.
Once One is no longer afraid of Evil,
then there is no longer a compulsion
to destroy Evil.
Simply disengage and observe Evil,
allowing Evil to consume itself.
.
Evil is a compulsive parasite
and without a compliant host,
it is left with no other option,
but to feed on itself.
