New tyranny

We like to police the world.

Look around and

What do you see?

Death and destruction

As far as the eye can see

So go terrorize the world

With your bullshit excuses

 

Police the world!

Destroy the World!

Kill the masses!

Kill society too!

 

There's a gun in hand and

A rule book in the other

Watch your step

Watch your back

Or else you're gonna get f*****g whacked

 

Police the world!

Destroy the world!

Kill the masses!

And kill society too!

 

No one knows why

Cause we aren't supposed to know

When tyranny replaces democracy

Because we have been blinded by lies

It's interesting to me that you felt the need to include curse words. What a contrast; displeased with the sliding from democracy to tyranny while ignoring the speaker's haughty meaning and vulgar terminology.

Word choice aside, the heavy use of repetition is very well chosen for reinforcing the speakers detest of the company he finds himself in. The cynical ending closes the poem appropriately, though it leaves the reader in a bit of an uncomfortable position - almost as if they don't dare disagree with the speaker's conclusion lest they be considered "blinded by lies."

An intriguing perspective. Excellently written.
