Emperor Poem by Blessing Anastasia Abaka
Emperor
What indeed can an emperor wins?
Lands, horses, wealth, pride?
To be an emperor, a great emperor
It takes thou to kill.
Kill or get killed.
War is war!
War makes wars,
War has only one rule, 'VICTORY'
Victory is the language an emperor understood.
Killing his meal, Winning his pride.
Alas! what else can he possess?
Anastasia, Your poem is a war without bullet against war. ..... I believe war cannot give anything but cries and emptiness.
Gratitude for ur comment.. To some such as the emperor, war gives they satisfaction not until they know peace.

The emperor in your poem appears as a man of small intelligence and absolutely no sympathy for other people. He is extremely unworthy to possess the vast power such a ruler is granted. And your poem is a timely warning for us to examine our own leaders who may be abusing power. Your poem targets the concept of the morality needed to be a decent ruler. Your political values are certainly the right ones.
