Crime and punishment


Crime and punishment

What motivates a reckless achiever’s
Drive, ambition and animosity?
He lies to himself and his believers;
He justifies every atrocity.
Under the title; “Great”, he’s permitted
To commit all manner of ruthless crimes;
Culpability’s never admitted.
Climbing the ladder to glorious times,
Backed by the worshiping majority,
The villain emerges as a hero;
Justices, under his authority,
Are trivialised and reduced to zero.
Crimes, unpunished, instead are rewarded
And heroic accolades accorded.
