Justice Through The Law

Standing before journalists with cameras
on heightened steps before the House of Power,
the Revolutionary Leader smiles
to announce his surrender to the law
since he succeeded in his noble goal
to restore progress of democracy.

Now that the tyrant has been overthrown,
and democracy restored to our state,
I declare the purpose of government
is to protect individual citizens
against all exploitation and abuse,
not to assist business exploiting the people.

Inspired by this principle of respect
focused on funding programs that support
the People to pursue their happiness,
I lead this justice squad of honest men
to remove the evil tyrant from power
through necessary exertion of force.

Contrary to this noble principle
which should animate our democracy,
this greedy businessman had seized control
by suppressing votes that chose his opponent,
and tried to impose fascist oligarchy
that centralized control in his small hands.

Compelled by necessity of armed force
to answer clarion call of history,
because the federal law failed to obstruct
his fascist coup against our government,
I lead this justice squad of honest men
to remove this foul cancer from our land.

Today I have removed cruel tyranny
by exercising right of common men
to arrest greedy oligarchic tyrants
and restore function of our government,
based on established precedent of right,
to the legal successor to take power.

The ancient law of power would allow
the one who removes the king to be king,
but I refuse to seize the crown of state
for I would become the tyrant I removed,
so, since the legal successor to power
has been sworn in, I submit to the law.

Though I had to fight to remove the tyrant,
I had exercised violence to achieve
this aim of preserving democracy,
so you must now arrest me with respect,
and sentence me with justice through the law,
for I sacrificed myself to save our state.
