The Last Say

Time has changed; 

but not for the world

Selfish actions, make 

each nation bold.

With abated breath 

their mouths water

Each wants a share 

of the forbidden fruit,

Left to wonder, 

their desire is here to stay

Covid-19 in rampage

acts of war as action,

Does the devil’s sinful leap 

grow with lust?

Can an apple a day 

keep one fit and gay,

Alas! The Chinese 

‘expansionist mindset’

Draws mankind 

in an impending stalemate,

Who will they betray next...

...can one ever know?

For they choke, kill

bring economic doom,

It is not who ordered the apple

but a desire that prevents 

nations to share resources, not lead

but exploit the gullible for wealth,

Before it was a snake

now a vilified dragon

In sinful action

unabated greed to fulfil,

Chinese there

sit at parleys to deceive 

inbred knowledge 

breathlessly insane,

Never to share, just

walk away with the apple;

A Confused world thinks they have hope

Atheists blame God to get the last say!
