A staunch socialist once aspired
To improve the world before he retired
He taxed the rich to aid the poor
Who as a result, increased all the more
To rid the world of tyranny
He reinforced tyranny's enemy
He would gain fame from his grand idea
Of establishing Utopia
For who needs scant cosmology
When bound to vast ideology?
*
When the taxed had nothing left to give
He levied the people's right to live
When tyrants' foes grew more despotic
His world became cruelly chaotic
Hence deluded with democracy
The socialist imposed autocracy
His Elysian dream of Utopia
Thus ended as infernal dystopia
When the taxed had nothing left to give
He levied the people's right to live
When tyrants' foes grew more despotic
His world became cruelly chaotic
Hence deluded with democracy
The socialist imposed autocracy
His Elysian dream of Utopia
Thus ended as infernal dystopia
