raft and shore

here we are, once again
delirious and daft
with the same mistakes
thrown off of raft

never learned to swim
for pride was high
desperate, limbs flailed
and shore was nigh

drenched in self shame
with feet on ground
ignoring snide laughs
waiting, ships abound

here we are, once again
resolute and unwavering
learning new mistakes
for success most daring

power hungry

drunk with power these peasants
for the first time
great power and no responsibility

to stare down decent people
just cause
and snicker away at their plight

why is power so corrupt for newbs
who can’t reflect
an iota of self regulation

whiling away uneducated brains
on things random
crowning themselves kings
