the sword of Damocles
hung above his
head
and it suspended with
a very slender
thread

the sharp edged blade
did swing to and
fro
deciding at which time
his cranium would
go

though he is a man
in a powerful
position
nothing will save him from
the cold steel's
exhibition

sooner rather than later
we'll witness the sword's
drop
as it makes
the inevitable
chop
