All Eyes Are On You!

Today’s topic
Coincidentally appears to be
One all for the eyes,
The world of Nobel
Did in standing ovation rise,
When for a second time
In standing ovation,
They all did rise
Kings and Queens too
In salutation
Of a Nobel peace prize winner,
Rotting in apt abandon
Some millions miles in a dungeon

The world is wrought
With senseless beings,
They killed Jesus
For his intelligence and benevolence

So I feel and see history repeat it
Such repetition is not alien,
Its very much Earthman,
So is your poem
Worthy of the silent standing ovation,
As the curtain falls
All vanish into oblivion
Including you
One who also did receive
A standing ovation!
