Adventures of the Dialectic

Let's workshop this poem about revolution becoming tyranny's twin

Adventures of the Dialectic

In its willingness to do 
whatever to secure its end, 
the revolution turned 
twisted twin 
of the tyrannical regime—
its obsession 
with destruction eclipsing,
in effect, the hope
that spurred it: 
the hope, the love, 
for how things should be.
