A poem I wrote that was inspired by padmae's line in episode 3(I think that's the right episode)

"So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause"

So this is how liberty dies

Unbeknownst to them

Manipulating them

An inspiring voice rings out

Standing behind their back

Working bit by bit

Until he has them

And they know not his real plan

And to his front it looks

As if he is a savior

Come to rescue them

In a time of need

But that is far from it

The truth when he takes power

And they smile and agree

As liberty dies

To thunderous applause
