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
