Reign Of Immortality!

Reign Of Immortality!

A Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi

Righteousness is making a loud cry.
Calling the service of humanity.
But sin sinks to the depth of mankind;
and they deprived chastity of its virginity.

Iniquity has been crowned with justification.
Pride being address as 'His Lordship'.
Falsehood now a member of the bench;
leaving humility a victim of humiliation.

Crime now bears a legal tag.
Lawlessness denied the law of its right.
Obedience and respect lives to hue and cry;
but the ears of men are deaf to their outcry.

The perturbed servants of righteousness run helter-skelter.
Fairness surrendered grudgingly to partiality.
Sincerity and truthfulness embarked on a rout;
for the reign of immorality has become a reality.

Powerful and true words.
"The perturbed servants of righteousness run helter-skelter.
Fairness surrendered grudgingly to partiality.
Sincerity and truthfulness embarked on a rout;
for the reign of immorality has become a reality."
A few years back. Some not too bright politician said. Starvation is better. Less deaths than 10 years ago. Like hunger was okay for some. Poor leader serve their wealth and lobbyist. Time for change. When we learn. Every life had value. We will know peace. One people and one planet. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry. Made me think this morning.
