Sonnet: The Accursed

Accursed are those who play with innocent lives; Accursed are those who bring ruin on earth; Accursed are those by whom progress nose-dives; Accursed are those who cut life’s-thread and breath. Accursed are those who bring the country down; Accursed are those betraying motherland; Accursed are those who kith and kin disown; Accursed are those who have a traitor’s hand. Accursed are the unpatriotic souls; Accursed are bureaucrats who are corrupt; Accursed are those who use/ misuse loopholes; Accursed are those who good things interrupt. Accursed are persons who don’t love their land; Accursed are those men who need reprimand. 6-18-2001
