BEAST IN THRONE

Perversion far excellence Is the name of the beasts That sit in the throne of pride For theirs is the tooth and nail. To serve and not to be served: It is the minimum courtesy That people should have practiced In centuries gone and on. Social norms are kept in tact Even by the rulers of other planets Though they are masters of all they survey Without myth they revel in frivolities. This world is ‘importanter’ for them For it is the tangible real And the one they predict for others Is farther and uncertain, yet be week and humble. S.Kakkanat (25-04-2009)
