You Made Promises, and We Bore the Burden

You spoke of reform
You promised a new world
So we entrusted you with power
But you settled for complacency, fearing wrath
You turned away from our sorrow and pain
And exploited our anger
Your political judgments and actions
Have shattered our expectations
Repeatedly
Continuously
Shattering them again and again
And then you spoke again and promised once more
We bore the burden
How much longer must we
Trust you
Endure you
And bear the weight of you
The world cycles
And that is how the world is maintained
When the sun shines
Life dwells in the world
But if the sun shines incessantly, death settles upon the parched earth
When it rains, the world is filled with life
But if it rains incessantly, it washes everything away
Thus, circulation is the lifeblood of the world
By blocking that cycle and continuing to trust and support you
We have left you in complacency
We have kept you in comfort
And made you careless
Now, you must undergo the cycle
This was your promise
In the new world you created
Because you settled into complacency
You will no longer exist
By exploiting our anger
And fearing the backlash of others
You shall fall under the wrath of the world
This is the price of your words and the natural course
According to your promises
Now, you too must bear the burden
