english,
The rebellion has taken the final leap into the fray.
The Imperial Guard, shattered and in disarray.
Armed mobs, laid siege to the barricaded government sector.
Nobles and officials fled into the night like a specter.
The rebellion has prevailed.
The defenses have failed.
The masses finally broke the chains,
However, justice from the tyrant was not among their gains,
To avoid the victor's justice, the Emperor took flight,
Fleeing into exile while the blindly loyal kept up the fight,
To be taken with him, the plundered treasury and whatever wealth remain.
The stolen gold used to secure asylum within foreign domains.
Justice is never avoided, just delayed.
His noose is how today he is portrayed,
His prosecutor, the youth's educator,
His jury, the masses who know him a dictator.
