A poem of the times we live in and the leadership, or lack of, that we have. Truer words could be said, but these are truth nonetheless!


MAN OF MANIFESTERING DESTINY

He looked — and all he saw,

Was vulgar — of utter contempt,

So he made the extreme call,

If despicable — share the lament;

Share the wicked and the blight,

Split wealth and misery,

Take it to everyone in sight,

Yes, it was his destiny!

To give of his evil,

So others would know,

That he — he was able,

And yes, he was that low;

Of sacred scrit he held a loathing,

The creed of a nation was moot,

To usurp power with kingly ring,

Destroy a people, a nation to boot;

The mirror showed through fractured glass,

A truer image of he,

When all the dust and blood had passed,

He was the one of manifestering destiny!

    Though-provoking! I had the same images in mind of past leaders who only do power play, inflicting festering wounds to an already ailing nation.

    Very descriptive, and I think I know who you’re describing. Let’s hope it’s not too late to stop him. Excellent.
