Array ( [sid] => 70443 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Absence of Terrorism [time] => 2004-11-06 23:50:31 [hometext] => Broaching of a subject that`s wide prevalent, comments invited [bodytext] => Punishment, with investigation made in due degree
So as to stay advance of crime, a king is he

For days with lots of joys on Heav`n, if one should call
Even after raising a rod with severe brows, should let it gently fall

With subjects feared of cruel wrongs and who even endure
Will bring ruin to the unjust king, which is swift and sure

Oh! ‘our king is cruel’, if subjects sadly say
His age shall dwindle and swift his joy of life decay

If subjects see the king harsh of forbidding countenance
The king will have ample wealth blasted and wasted by demon`s glance

This tyrant, who is harsh in speech and hard of eye
Will have ample joy, swift fading and soon shall die

If he uses harsh words and severe punishments beyond his right
Act as indicators for wearing the monarch`s conquering might

If he leaves the work to others and think of it no more
And in wrathful mood reprove, has prosperous days all over

If he builds no fort, whence from foe he may defy
At the time of war, shall fear and swiftly die

Tyrants being fools, and if their counsels should share
Our earth has no heavier burthen to bear

All tyrants shall suffer greatly in their demise. I only hope it is even worse than I can imagine. The fear and pain and suffering alone they cause the children of this world makes them due Hell beyond our imaginations.
