IN THE SHADOW OF HIS RULE

The man who claims the mantle of law,
Exposed his crimes without a flaw.
Downplaying wrongs he himself did birth,
Justifying the darkness, casting a blight on the earth.

With government's might at his command,
He cloaked his malice with a sleight of hand.
Crafty maneuvers, hidden schemes,
To mask his deeds, to shatter dreams.

Under his maleficent reign,
The state teeters on the brink of pain.
Yet, amidst the chaos and the fray,
His ego reigns, come what may.

Political power, a shield he guards,
While the land suffers, fractured and marred.
In the shadow of his rule's cruel hand,
The people yearn for justice to stand.
