Dear Dictator

the dictator is too strong
the dictator is never wrong
the dictator always looks perfect
the dictator sells the nation in the market
the dictator clicks photos with children
the dictator always follows the trend
the dictator never abides by the rules
the dictator loves the fools
the dictator kills you for a poem
the dictator never lets you finis…
