Tyrant ruler: Quintains

 

Tyrant ruler: Quintains

A tyrant, quite rash and unkind,

Left freedom and joy far behind.

With a boot's heavy press,

Causing utter distress,

Turned bright days to darkness defined.

A fear fell, quite hushed and unseen,

A fist ruled, aggressive and mean.

No change could be sung,

While silence had clung,

The gates slammed, a closing scene.
