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...
