AN ONGOING PROCESS


POEM

Lust for power drives a
ruler especially a dictator
leads to the ditch of disaster.
Greed for wealth pushes a
ruler especially a dictator
to amass huge amounts
of wealth thereby draining
the exchequer and forces
pauperization of a nation.
The country falls
into the abyss of poverty
and famine leading to deaths
hundreds of thousands of 
citizens everyday
selfishness is the hallmark
of a ruler especially a dictator
since his wives, children, siblings
and loyal courtiers are
left to bloodhounds to prey them
flee abroad seeking asylum.
Lust, greed and selfishness
apart there exist a
number of reasons which
are heart-breaking or heart –curdling.
It is an ongoing
process, never ending process

from which there is no let up.
