TREASON AGAIN… (isev gautanloba) <br /> <br /> <br />Again betrayal, <br />Treason and racket. <br />A sage – clad <br />In a straitjacket… <br /> <br />The spoiled landlords <br />Demand taxes and costs. <br />To chum up with a grabber <br />A poet is forced. <br /> <br />The flatterers and slaves <br />Think themselves upright, <br />Against the kindness <br />The deceitful fight. <br /> <br />The orphan’s late bread <br />Isn’t baked nowadays, <br />“I’m the rich-man’s brooch, ” <br />The king complains. <br /> <br />“His majesty” doesn’t care <br />For the man that is old, <br />And the rooster, too, <br />Thrice has crowed.<br /><br />Tsira Gogeshvili<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/treason-again/
