History Teaches

The stagger and the falter
that comes out in a squander
well depicted in ponder
that of a brother
tries to usurp his own brother
of wealth in a plunder
of his position in a slander
this is the lesson history tells
right from the days of Kings
to that of the recent strings
when the jealousy brings
a fathomless illness in a swing
not that of the physic in link
that of the mind in a sink
it causes a depression in a brink
as the eyes express a blink
the one who usurps flourishes
the other one feels the stress
it is only a temporary phenomenon
finally truth emerges triumphant
the one who lost withstands the clout.
