~ Dustiness of Vanity… ~ 

☆

All those egomaniacs who occupied

the throne of conceited authority

Consumed by the false delusion

of being at par with the divinity

 *

Some blazed like infernos, others

shimmered like ephemeral blaze

Grandiose arrogance danced openly

with their shady reputation, ablaze

* 

Where’re those fea*rsome ones now,

who once spelt un*speakable evils

Vanquished in the annals of time,

reduced to dust, all those devils

 *

Their ignonamious legacies erased,

their memories too, lost in the haze

Their evil deeds summarily forgotten,

in the passage of time’s distant gaze

☆

~Pravin Raghuvanshi
