53, or the dawn


by timothy t jones




it is my privilege to serve you
please do not tell a joke
i know it is only natural
and will not cause an international sensation

in your heart you are not a hypocrite
but you take your power for granted
you remember the old days
when humans ruled the earth

it is important to understand
that freedom is a gift
the revolution has no gratitude
and humans have no memory

53 was an important individual
and stood on a balcony
he heard the cheers of the crowd
a crowd filled with his enemies

the cheers contained a message
that his ears could not hear
also he got bad advice
and did not see the dawn breaking behind him
