When a tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. (PLATO)
SAVING THE DAY?
Citizen unrest
Who is to help?
Are they blessed
When a tyrant runs to the rescue?
Looking back
Who stirred up the war?
It is a fact
T'was the tyrant who saved the day
When there is sovereignty to take
Lives to upheaval
Assets at stake
Who else to intercede but the evil?
