WHEN RIVALS TURN GODS

Sitting stunned
with a frozen mind
I wonder
the intricacies of relationships.
True,
in the realm of politics
no permanent enemies
or friends exist.
Egos, clash not,
even if clashes do occur
not for eternity.
Exceptions, yes, exceptions
they are just to justify
the law.
Eulogies being shed
profusely
words stutter
remembrances gush forth
all fond and to be fondled
upon the passing away of
a political rival
I wonder if
the rival’s rivals
keep a gritty charm
while shedding crocodile tears
over the passing of
their political rival
whether the rival pours out his remorse
sorrows and pains
a safety-valve
atone for the
scathing criticisms and
choice epithets?
