Sin of Security

They could not understand hunger,

with their protruded bellies,

excess gluttonous calories,

pies and cakes,

deep fried detectibles,

devoid of hunger except that in the mind.

Well fed,

They commit the sin of security.

They could not fathom the need for arms,

content with their programs of retribution,

of glorious social redistribution,

no preparation aginst despots,

nothing spent on defence and judging armies,

whilst sitting under an umbrella of protection.

Paid by blood of others,

They commit the sin of security.

They thought they were immune from disease,

plague eliminated by their medicinal prowess,

scientific suppression of spiritual Taoists,

popping pills,

spending billions on chemical potions.

Trying to defeat Nature,

They commit the sin of security.

And so it came to pass,

when evolution bypassed these wretched souls,

making waste of them as a new set of dead sea scrolls,

in favoring the others whom the sinners had forgotten,

honed by suffering and strife,

the wretched became royal and replacing,

those who reveled in the sin of security.
