Gnashing of Teeth

They were warned but they wouldn't hear, Their slogan was" we have nothing to fear " They celebrated their sins with many bottles of beer Not knowing that their end was very near... They ignored all prior advice and fore warnings They were full of themselves; so boastful of their earnings Their words were always intimidating and daring Little did they know that the alarm would be so blaring... Through out their life time, they'll never forget the word 'nemesis' The very law of karma, responsible for bringing them to justice Forever, they'll remember their ordeal which ended in Crises; And they'll only wish to start from the genesis... It is said, 'everyday for the thief, one day for the owner ' I could reminisce how they wept and felt bitterly sober, But this is an error they could've run from Same error which has now held them to ransom... I pray they don't end up dead or becoming waste Because life isn't what we rush to in a haste I pray they realize their errors and repent And also make sure they serve God without relent... Their guilt always stood before their faces They were involved in all kinds of cases They wrecked havoc and caused lots of damages But I really thank God who saved my ass Perhaps, I would've loved to join their class Of which in anguish I'd perish at last...
