POWERFUL MEN

Powerful men want more
grab everything they see
land and minerals
because there is no defense
Now that they themselves are making up
with their bold coup
without regard for the kingdoms of others
they disappoint many
Powerful men
show no consideration
act like this every day
They build alliances
take land and minerals
If only they had understood
that their lives are so short
This is nothing new
that they don't care about others
These men will soon be no more
an end they can count on
What have they gained
when everything has disappeared?
Only their ashes and bones are left
lying in the grave of oblivion.
If only they had understood
that their lives are so short.
