Rulers

Uma Arora
Apr 30, 2021

They love and

They love each other, but

They love themselves more

They pompously declare that

They are guiltless.

They speak and

They speak to the people, but

They speak for themselves evermore

They contemptuously declare that

They are flawless.

.

They see and

They see to everything, but

They see for their own gain even more

They boastfully declare that

They are sinless.

Who are They?

These are our Reproachless

Crimeless and above all Sinless

Rulers.

A poem by Uma Arora
