Question:CADRE OF CORRUPTORS' BLUES

Rulers rule because they
know no other way;
they're incapable of
status quo changes.

Here, I sing for only
those seeking freedom.
My genre is this blues;
my song is ageless.

Our nature is to fly;
we'll try even though
Blue Bloods won't rest until
each cagling is caught.

Inspiration free flows,
songs are written, for
cadres of corruptors
seeking followers.

Historically they've won.
Their drones seldom sleep;
tyranny is masked
but not absolute.

Democracy shelters
evil intentions;
truth is ellusive and
freedom seems real.

So the song is still sung
by fathers to sons.

"Fly son, fly!... You must try...
It's too late for me...
Be free. You must try to...
flee...", the fathers sing.

I, sadly, cannot agree with part of your vision.

From all I can see, looking through the deep history of our species, it is far from our nature to fly. Sadly, it seems very much in our nature to follow. It is that which leaves us to the whim of those human oddities who are born to lead. At times we are led to a brighter path but so often we are led into the darkness.

Perhaps we should not fault the blue bloods. Perhaps we should, in fact, fault those who so readily fold out their wings for the clipping.

What did you have in mind of changing? Perfect settements had never been spoken this soon in someones life.
