The ruler of a prison

 

O thou poor mankind,

A king in deluxe imprisonment,

Reveling in entanglements of prejudices,

Enjoying conventions and their privileges,

Illegalities creeping in the shadows

of name and fame,

While mother nature

watching with silent fury

the child’s twisted innocence

and dominant frivolities,

His soul rusting due to routine,

The material self moving

with a firm, commanding step,

The fat hominid arrogance

smirking with malicious fullness,

Surrendered to splendid helplessness

and puerile amusement,--

A king indeed

who learnt to rule hell

after destroying all that

which was once heaven.
