A Conquest

A Conquest- Last line prompt





When ink of romance
subdues respect for nature,
Exploitation begins
treasures seem perpetual,

Obliterated thoughts
drop down the curtains,
Devastation knocks 
on constant failure to unveil,

A wake up call, wake up
with hunger to introspect,
Satiate this appetite
howbeit, the fancy foods,

A conquest .... 
for luscious bequests
bestowed by Him,
Instead of drinking coffee 
in cafes of Berlin.
