What we are in our leaders' eyes (Tanka)

Shame on the lion
to eat from the fox bounty
but bride for the fox
to eat from lions' bounties
and so we're with leaders

    Wow! The content here is amazingly incorproated to a prey and predator chain. 'One mans food, can be anothers poison'.

    When as leaders we take what is meant for humanity; masses particularly. Its very disheartening. Unfortunately that's the new order in our societies, which is causing a detrimental slope in administrative imbalance and economical downpour. Thus causing chaos, abject poverty and mismanagement in all sectors of governing policies.

    Public officers need to realign their strategies and targets, so as to follow the constitutions layed out. And to know that the oath taken will surely cause them pangs of gloom, if they don't deliver God fearing form of governing.

    An insightful and examplary piece. Portrayed beautifully in this form. Exotic write!..
