Justice

The king is dead! Long live the king! History of rulers is no different from ordinary mortals, The crowns and kohinoors travel from one head to another uneasier head. Emperors, Monarchs, Kings, Pharaohs abdicated By methods natural and unnatural, Thrones usurped, kingdoms conquered, succession relinquished, For the joy of wealth, and its superpowers that comes in accompaniment, And then leaving it all to turn to ruin with their own sudden deaths. Greed, fraud, forgery, continues with its undying hunger, Kith and kin scoffed, rebuffed and disowned from their own rights, Temporal power is misconceived by these mortal gods, Ethics and integrity scaled down by their unregretful smirky smiles And then these Mammons roll on and swim in this new founded wealth, For they know not Gods do watch them, and with one hack will level it all.
