Like Him

Born into this world one day The heir to a tyrant's reign of pain Indoctrinate To rule with hate For the son to feel pride By his father's side Forcefed views Mental abuse What goodness creates He devastates From the pits of darkness rises a light astray Filling the void that terror employed Change came to the boy on a street A girl dressed in rags taught him to see There is no escape No passing of judgment Your people are dying and so am I She drew her final breath And died in his arms and He shouts out to the sky I won't be like him
