authority

reclaiming the confidence held

reclaiming the confidence held in my administration.

the authority of the author is me.

i have power in my pen -

a yet raging judgement, arbitrarily distempered.

struggle, stuck on secrets, manifest a prerogative.

learn the jurisdiction in a well-told story,

the empire is not safe anymore.

always have control, or be ready to be controlled,

the civilized recusal of the unquestionable,

empirically proven to be a threat

to the constructs of servitude

staying chained to a mindset.

abandoned by insecurity, internal declination.

equatorial laws of a failsafe found out of bonds,

may the strong force be with you.

be in your own favor and the odds will ever-follow,

even from the edge and entirety of oblivion.

all with the authority which biting a tongue forbids.

when civil isn't met in kind,

become ungovernable and be disobedient.

or you may not.
