RUINATION
Confesses the bitter
confession,
Volunteered foolish
destruction,
Born affluent status or
position,
Wealth assets inherited
reunion, (1)
Power not from barrels of the
gun,
Power inherited in youth is
shown,
Knew quite well to hoodwink law,
Money plays dirty tricks lives
saw, (2)
Whimsical invite outbursts,
anger,
Lost fascination ruined men,
pure,
Intolerance auburn pride
avenge,
Arrogance if encountered
revenge, (3)
Fail to remember how many,
lost,
Devastated their family lives
cost,
Spend money happily in a
courtroom,
Fabricated as culprits faced
doom, (4)
Years rolled, fear cowed down
bow,
Obey or get destroyed a little
show,
This was the horror-filled
motions,
Existed and spend bullion
notions, (5)
Failed all attempts to trap curious,
Reborn with greater power,
serious,
Enjoyed torturing victims,
heart merciless,
Fear defied to hunt results,
careless, (6)
Saw the day his wife and child
died,
Brutal car accident the sight
denied,
No, not his family can be
harmed,
Anger welled up, fewer cramped,
(7)
Traffic bypassed avoided
looking hate,
Stupefied view their hatred,
relate,
Socked to watch, mangled
lifeless,
Perished his wife and child
bless, (viii)
Shrink instantly to bless my
own,
Ever shown mercy, let
destruction,
Reckons cruel life past satanic
lit,
Crush brutally, several lives,
treat, (9)
Laughed at their tears, begged
a lot,
Prayed his mercy refused to
alert,
Disbelieved, harm can be
caused,
Stood silently on the street,
brushed, (10)
The corner of his eyes knew ridicules,
Started fearing the contempt
heat,
The blinding sun above no
respite,
Weak after pyres lit seen it
aflame, (11)
Realization, perforated skin
shame,
Shrunken eyes skeletal
existence,
Looted his asset properties
sense,
Lost millions in a few days
surprise, (12)
Little found the dawn the
sunrise,
Drunken, sadness wine lost
family,
Missing in the city, sold rest,
but simply,
Decades of no information dead
news,
Abode in the lap of Himalayas,
his muse, (13)
Chosen life renounced
anonymous,
Living in a hermitage life,
curious,
Ruination completes his dark
past,
Sought liberation repentance
last, (14)
The bank of the river, on a
rock strive,
Aged, begged for penance,
survive,
Hail merciful Lord saw a
sunrise,
Escaped his soul a truth
surmise! (15)
