I've come to this again,
I've picked out the individual.
I've many times done this,
oh-so-evil ritual.
Your standing at a street lamp,
looking at the ground.
Your probably feeling watched,
But you'll find no one's around.
I am in your shadow,
I've traced all your steps,
I'm sorry I must use you,
But my promises must be kept.
I watched you rise,
Very swiftly into power.
I knew you all too well,
Always locked up in your tower.
Busy at a desk,
Ignoring all that come around.
You will get your best,
For I will cause your final sound.
I watched you survive,
On but an illusion!
You thought you were in control,
But shouldn't you have withdrawn into seclusion?
You soon grew to be hated,
Your actions found idiotic,
You lead the people
To a land all chaotic.
I watched you as you rose,
And I caused your fall.
In a few years
I will repeat it all.
I'm done with this again,
I'm through with this individual,
I've once again completed
This oh-so-evil ritual.

i didnt know it was about politics at first. my thinkin n conclusion skills are not to good. i see it now though. its well worthy of respect by all great poetry writers.

I'm sorta seeing a reference to politics in this. the rise, the fall, and then it happens again. Great poem!

Finally! I thought no one would find the meaning. I salute your thinking skills.

Your work is well done, though I'd watch the punctuations of capitalized letters after a comma. If you're going to use punctuations, use them properly. It's amazing how easily distracted we can get from the message in a poem. Keep all rituals precise in practice. Whether Pagan or not.

Not really sure what it's about, but it's really good, very well written!

good
nice work.

Like most of your poems, its very well written. I like it but its hard to tell what it is about exactly. Great though!
-
Wow sounds really malipulative. I can't figure out if it is a person, a past, or what that is causing their fall. Or maybe it can be all of them?
Great write! I like how you say: "This oh-so-evil ritual"
