So much for oppression

Day at a time

they write a word

of your epitaph

conspirators all

whispering underneath

smiling and beaming for you

as they push you all so slightly

to the precipice to a fatal fall

they brought you by cunning pushes

when you were snug against this solid wall

they shook it bad

and berated you for excellence

extolling the competing mediocre

pumping you with airs

that exist as poisonous and bad

they wanted you dead

one fine day when it was caught

you, the tower of strength,

pushed back the horde

they could not believe

that their conspiracy was undone

they had stolen money

and big time at that

they feared that you would be

their nemesis and totally bad

that you would get them in prison

that is why they were doing a slow-push death

now that they were repulsed

all went haywire

with begging and all

each wanted their life to be spared

but victims would have none

swords came out and most

were sliced through the throat

quite, quite dead.

Raised questions they could never answer

because answers ensured their exposures

ransacking each other

they ran and blamed each other

and then they fought.

It was at this time rest were

cut to pieces despite their wails

so much for oppression!
