It's A Steal

The Koh-i-noor diamond wiil shortly be worn in Camilla's hair.

It's A Steal

The Brits stole the Koh-i-noor diamond as they do,
to be positioned in a suitable crown with irmalou,
ships loaded with spices and plantations stripped,
nothing wrong with that when you're stiff upper-lipped.

Many hearts abducted, light skinĀ colour of a peach,
not without sacrifice, Captain Cook hacked on a beach,
treasure from the Carribean, gold encrusted jewells,,
easily removed from marauding pirates and Spanish fools.

The Elgin marbles resided decently in their homeland,
before they turned up at the British Museum in England,
over centuries, the sculptures were subject of many rifts,
pretended reasoning - beware of Greeks bearing gifts.Ā 

There was a question; Why are the Pyramids so heavy?'
Obvious reply: 'So that the English can't steal them,'

hi Terry! different times nations conquered people, were they wrong ? probably, I believe the Lord allows our agency to choose whether to conquer ourselves or others. We are allowed to choose right or wrong, andĀ  someone must pay the consequences so we learn and progress. I believe He uses people and nations to bring about His purposes. Will we like it or agree? Will we grow in character and progress ? "His work and glory is to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man". My opinion on your cool write and opinion!..................................................Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks so much -
not so sure on the accepted laws of decency or is history allowed ad infinitum?
Love,
Terry.
