SYCOPHANTS

POEM

Extinct species are aplenty

other species awaiting extinction

in the wings are umpteen.

But the unwanted

species which should have

extinct already are

rocketing and mushrooming

instead cause damage,

loss and sufferings threatening the

very existence of human beings and biodiversity.

Among such venomous species

include sycophants who

cling to the coat-tails of rulers

and other such people

especially those considered to be

powerful and arrogant

the sycophants in order to fulfill their ulterior motives

and if and when

such rulers or leaders

loss their power and influence

don’t have any qualms in

ditching their one time rulers or leaders

and join the new ones who come to

power with the sole

purpose of fulfilling their vested interests.

I wish such sycophants

were shown the door

with a warning not

to enter the corridors of power again….

These species are only one among

thousands on earth…….
