Future Dystopias - Tom Ball

There are innumerable future Dystopias

Some can foresee them with hyperopia

Others have myopia

And some of them see only Utopia

Most Dystopias feature

Tyrants

Who are violent

aspirants

If we could get rid of dictators

On paper

There would be no more powerful haters

Some dictators

Are free traders

And some are philosopher Kings

You say such Kings bring

Prosperity to their people

You say the book of tyrants is wide open

Life is for the taking

But I want a leader who is most interested in making

Love for all our sake

The icing on the cake

And not be fake
