Sleep, over this;
You will not Rule Forever.
By:Douglas Ogbankwa Esq.
Power is nothing without control,
When you veer off you pour on fire petrol,
No matter how many bullets you shoot,
Or how much you loot,
Power is transient,
Life is a lesson for resilience,
I tell you, you will not Rule Forever.
Looking at your callousness and coldbloodedness,
Why do you hate when people experience happiness,
I have a question for you :
How do you manage to sleep at night?
With your cruel heart,
No Matter how much you demolish or
how many you imprison,
I advise you to renovate the prison,
Life is a complex prism,
I tell you, you will not Rule Forever.
I wonder what you gain,
When you cause people pain,
Fame can bring shame if not tamed,
When you fly in private jets,
And relish the pain of your fellow men,
I tell you, you will not rule forever.
Conscience is an open wound,
Impossibility is only in the dictionary of fools,
Sycophants will venerate you,
And leave you in a cesspool,
But when you do your brigandage,
like renegade boys brigade,
Know that your price,
Is an uphill task,
Nemesis is a food every snitch eats,
Listen not to those your praise they sing,
The forces of nature quakes at your impunity,
Illusions lead to the absence of reality,
Karma is bitch,
What will, will be,
I tell you, you will not rule forever.
Wait and see,
The Lord of the skies and seas,
Shall do just to us all,
Have this in your skull,
Whether you maim,
or you try to main,
I tell you,
You will not rule forever
We will all die one day,
Everything in life you buy you will pay,
Life is like a marketplace,
The forces of the cherubim and seraphim show our course,
the pen is mightier than the sword,
When you die,
Without your suit and tie,
Will people mourn,
Or their losses they will bemoan,
When you pop the champagne,
Over people’s pain,
Know that no pain,no gain,
And that you are confined eternally to the hall of shame,
the trajectories of life will make you wonder,
Or even wonder ,
Pause and ponder,
Because you will not rule forever.
