It is painful,
Every time your name is spoken,
And your image comes into view.
Oh, the pain is profound,
I question why fate is so forgiving.
Praised by everyone each day,
Yet your hidden secrets are clear to me,
They stare without remorse,
Power! Concealing your misdeeds behind power,
Believing you can elude karma.
Oh, I hope for your decay,
As you confess, I hope your mouth teems with scorpions,
I will take pleasure as they sting you and you wail,
The cries of agony from you,
Become a spectacle to witness.
Remember my words
Perhaps you believe you can escape,
With innocence taken,
With vulnerability exploited,
You lied,
And your lies persisted,
It is strange how words flow, with ninety percent being falsehoods,
Honeyed words, you claim to bear the word of God,
Thinking that God can be scorned.
You reek,
Your sins will haunt,
Wait for it.
Generations will weep for you,
And curse you for the affliction you brought upon them,
In your final rest, you will find no peace.
Remember my words.
I will patiently bide my time,
Until the day I depart these shores,
Then, I will expose your hidden secrets,
Unveiling your darkest deeds,
I will remain silent,
Until that moment arrives,
Mark my words,
You won’t evade me,
I am your nemesis.
I will endure the agony,
From the dagger you have thrust into my heart,
I will tend to the wounds patiently,
From the pain you have caused,
Enjoy your moments of happiness now,
Because it won’t be long,
Before turmoil engulfs all of you,
Like a volcanic eruption.
Remember my words.
