The Governor
Many years has she catered for her children
Until this journey reached her unaware
Now She must! and has to select a leader.
A leader among her children.
Who will lead in order to keep order.
The older was selected as the leader.
So he found a jubilation to jubilate his celebration.
She formulated rules to prevent oppression.
But the older Brother learnt a lot means of manipulation.
Practice autocracy clothed democracy.
He remained on luscious and piquant grounds.
But his siblings keep on suffering.
He was selected to be a leader not to torture.
But he became a covered torturer.
When their Mother’s return was announced, He shivered.
Started to turn things around.Executed all means.
Soaked the tongues of His siblings with honey.
Humbly sweeting their ears with sugar.
In mind is to get favour in their sight not to give an ill report.
But will they?.
