Power play (Sonnet)


You only see what your eyes want to see;
You only hear what your ears want to hear.
How can world run at your whims and fancy,
When you keep creating climate of fear.

You’re so concerned with your dirty interest;
You distort truth to hawk hate and revenge.
How far you’ve gone in your ugly conquest,
On corpses of man you love to scavenge.

You trample peace for greedy power play,
And frame innocents for creating unrest.
How far you’ll spread this social decay,
And build castles of success on bloodfest.

Look, you’ve torn unity and peace apart,
Now only Almighty could melt your heart.
