Tired of feudal autocracy?
I suggest you try democracy.
The solution not apparent?
Best to make it all transparent.
All fear speaking truth to power,
Confine the emperor to the tower.
The solution couldn't be clearer,
A stiffer spine and a look in the mirror.
Well said, both (and a great laugh) — if not such a serious matter.
