A Poem For Redress
....................

They take everyone's resources
Playing God, and ruling by force
Build kingdoms and enriching themselves
Emptying treasuries, leaving only shells

They readily mortgage the future
Enshrined in evil and corrupt nature
They borrow for their greed of today
Careless about tomorrow's decay

Recycled and morally sedated
Filled with greed and ideas outdated
They cling with their lives to offices
Corruption pouring from their orifices

Befuddled and chained to yesterday
Senile, moribund, with mental delay
Walking around in gerontocratic diapers
How can they lead tomorrow's leaders?

Overtaken by the train of global trend
Oblivion of the mess they represent
These harbingers of so much sorrow
Want to rule yesterday, today and tomorrow
.........
