Tyrannous Exemplars

Who judges your heroes with honesty and fair play?
Not you who gobbles up any word that they say.
They got you gagged and sworn under some unspoken oath.
Neither good nor outright evil, so you decide they’re both.

But deep inside you know the truth that bites your ego.
You worship such wretched modern kind of Neros.
I’m amazed at your lengthy game of pretend,
Tyrannous exemplars who you think are godsend.
