In The House of Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar.

In The House of Pharaoh and

Nebuchadnezzar.

                                                                                                                   

They have become gods

in the land of mortals,

subjects-they turned to

irrational worshippers;

their homes have indirectly

become temples and shrines

for man-created veneration,

family members-they made

altar boys and usher girls.

Through their handiwork

cities of evil they keep

building,

Sodom and Gomorrah

they have made out of

land they rule upon;

inconceivable evils and

mind-bogging sins-

they keep committing

in the former land of

wonders.

Hunger, misery, and poverty,

they give as inheritance,

bloodshed and butchery

they derive joy,

massacre and carnage

they glorify to high heaven.

Darkness-they prefer to

light,

lies instead of truth-

they adopt as Constitution;

pride and haughtiness-

leaders of the land wear

as clothe.

Every day, God of Heavens

they keep opposing,

daily, work of nature they

try to change;

principles, laws, and values

before their progenitors,

they had re-written.

Daily, air of trouble

they breathe upon their

subjects,

constantly, discomforting

sun with sweltering heat

they make citizens undergo.

Slavery and force labor  

they had placed upon their

brothers and sisters,

decent wages-they denied

workers-while they live

in opulence;

better conditions

of life-they make look

mirage-

to those they govern.

Necessities of life-

they denied people,

moving corpses-they have

created out of living souls,

but their households

they feed with delicacies of

rich sumptuous meals

belonging to Kings.

Life after retirement

they keep denying people,

those who gave their lives

for them to live,

simple epitaph they do

not have,

individuals without graves-

common cenotaph

they had forgotten

to erect in their memorial.

Good medical care-

they have denied their own,

common diseases eradicated

elsewhere,

ferociously unleashing attack

on their people;

but Asclepius-Greco-Roman

god of medicine-

they keep at home for

themselves and household.

Anytime-they are sick-

they jet out to western world

to seek cure for common cold,

cough, ear infection, stress,

radiculopathy;

nation’s health sector

they make moribund.

Would these leaders

ever realize that they

are mortal?

Will these leaders ever

learn from those before

them?

Will these leaders ever be

held accountable someday?

If strong will is an excuse

for them to committing evil,

perhaps, stories of ancient

leaders will teach them lesson-

someday-

if ever they have ears to hear.

Will they LEARN?

Time shall TELL.
