Wealth and power
I'll make you a lesson for the whole world to see - Almighty said to Pharoah
Pharaoh was punished by God almighty till eternity
For his arrogance, oppression, blasphemy and everything evil
Although when he was alive, he was powerful and richest man on earth
Now he lies like an evil skeleton without beauty, health or riches
No coffin for him, no grave, not even air. Nothing but a museum
This is the end of those who forget God almighty's power
They have to pay back everything to whom it rightfully belongs
Be it their body, name, fame, power, riches or huge palaces they live in
Ultimate end any sane person would desire is a bed of mud in duniya
And heaven an eternal abode in the afterlife
But those insanely are the one's who lose their duniya and akhirah both
Taking advantage of all the gifts bestowed upon them by Allah
And using the money and power only to subdue others
In the end they receive in full compense what insolently they earned
And if you still don't believe, go see the richest man's body sealed in museum
Pharaoh, an example of Lord's anger over such blasphemous human beings
................................................
Don't count your blessings of wealth and power
Unless you use these to establish God's rule and peace
Else it's all useless whether you own luxurious Lamborghini or Private jets
Setting out on cruise with friends and family for showing off wealth to poorly
Makes you not richer but more obnoxious like Pharaoh an evil human being
Don't use your health to oppress the weak
If you are blessed, utilize your powers to establish God's rule
For that's best you can do to help your mission achieve
Spreading peace, justice, happiness all over the globe of Almighty
Don't use your knowledge to manipulate and Gaslight others
These isn't what knowledge is blessed to us for
Utilize it to spread the word of God to those who are unaware of it
What you sow, you'll soon reap, in the form of your own children and progeny
A generation blessed by God almighty or punished till eternity

Thank you Keith for your detailed view. I appreciate your opinion over the matter.
Not all wealthy and powerful are bad. We have examples of zulqarnain, king David/ dawood alaihis salam and King Solomon/ prophet Sulaiman peace be upon him. They were wealthy and powerful but used their wealth and power as per God's will and therefore were very successful.
This poem only shows the pros n cons and leaves the reader to take heed or still find faults in the poet for showing the mirror. Some people just don't want to be told good things. They get offended and start abusing out of utter frustration.
But Keith you always take my poems in the right spirit. You have a clean soul and a broad mind.
Thanks Keith.🌷
