Behind the words
Behind the words,
those noble words of dignity
honor
and righteousness,
was a scoundrel.
I knew it,
a few of my comrades knew it,
but the rest of the world thought of him as a “gentleman.”
They were soon to find out different however
for behind those
well chosen
sweet sounding words,
lie a tyrant.
I only wished they had listened to me.
So many lives were lost!
From behind those words he couldn’t have hid himself better if he was standing behind a brick wall.
