'' You Believe I've Been Snide '' Poem by Bri Mar

'' You Believe I've Been Snide ''



My lavish living,
Was paid for by you,
So please be forgiving,
In what next you do.

Though I'm a dictator,
I still have a heart,
To my people a traitor,
As now I depart.

Though you are dying,
Through lack of food,
There's no denying,
I have done good.

I have palaces galore,
I live in splendour,
But I still want more,
With you as my lender.

I am out of reach,
Of my own law,
Don't dare impeach,
You should be in awe.

Though I'm ninety-three,
I've been forced to retire,
Believe in me,
No, I'm not a liar.

Yes, Inflation is raging,
But I'm alright,
A bit like my ageing,
It's now out of sight.

Though I've stolen billions,
I prefer acquired,
You plebs, my civilians,
Now want me fired.

My life of devotion?
Has caused a divide,
I've now got the notion,

‘' You Believe I've Been Snide ‘'
