For many corrupt leaders, with great power comes horrendous human right abuses. Very powerfully and movingly penned with profound insight.

A most powerful poem Rose Marie and you have thankfully pulled no punches. Political punches that is. I think its marvellous a poet/poetess can express themselves without and fear of retaliation. And the obtuse power hungry so called representatives of the people are dwindling in numbers and wither on the vine. Easily now accountable, transparent. Five stars Rose Marie and thank you. Take care.

The Ruinous Heads, ........... yes dear poetess, you have correctly penned and addressed them the ruinous head, They governed With absolute power Wielded their swords With the greatest fury And filled their lands with blood They brought deaths More than the plagues........... thanks for sharing the poem with us
