Masked Tyranny Which Plagues History Poem by Terence George Craddock

to understand achieve the freedom of humanity
from the sly masked tyranny which plagues history
let us forget romantic notions of just kings rulers

who enslaved their people born below nobility salt lines
kept people ignorant uneducated incarcerated in chains
restraint fear superstitious religious persecution decrees

churches Spanish Inquision burnt common people
for crime owning reading true message in gospel Bible
Jesus preached equality freedom in God life eternal

a threat to rich rule is always persecuted crucified
