In the midst of those anxious times
He took rather draconian measures
And ordered the destruction of all books
To discourage an omnilegent population
He made the people feel uncertain
About the future of humanity
And when he preached “the end is near”
He was opening the gateway to hell
Written for these daily prompts: Your Daily Word Prompt (anxious), Ragtag Daily Prompt (draconian), Word of the Day Challenge (omnilegent), Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (uncertain), Jibber Jabber (end), and The Daily Spur (gateway).
Nice compilation!
