pretennd armor

some heads of countries
walk around in pretend armor,
imagining themselves great warriors
too bad it's ll in their heads
because they cause great wars.
thousands die, many more injured
but they strut, sure of their power.
but the only power they have
is the orders to go kill,
someone needs to destroy their armor.

You are absolutely right Carol....Over 2011 we saw uprisings against Dictators...the ones with the fake armour who abuse their power yet many of them still manage to survive...
