terror dancing in the hall
I watched the mask fall
They called him by a different name
Adolf written all over the game
I watched the mask fall
a dictatorial culture enthralled
Adolf written all over the game
One by one, they emerge from the mane
a dictatorial culture enthralled
more than one in the mask, what gall!
One by one, they emerge from the mane
Noble lions withdraw, not knowing the game
more than one in the mask, what gall!
terror dancing in the hall
Noble lions withdraw, not knowing the game
They called him by a different name

Lovely pantoum. I had to look it up, of course, though I recognised the form I couldn’t remember the name of it. Well done.

Excellent Reena. Dictators take on many forms, but they all have certain things in common – and none of them good!

I like the form of this, and the message “more than one in the mask”
