Me - the Inquisitor

I built a large house
Gave much importance to all details
To make it look lovely
And for neighbors to envy
What I did not care about is
Where all the waste would go
I could have laid a nice pipe connection
It would not cost me a fortune
But why bother
When I can send all the waste
To the nearby colony
Where the not-so-rich live
They have lived all their lives
Amongst pigs and buffaloes
But for me
I live in a scented house
Everyone admires me

I built a chemical factory
Taking care of details for the safety
Of my workers
I love my employees
With love I have kept them slaves
I appreciate their work with bonuses
They call me the best employer
I am the most loved
But only in my own company
I never bothered about pollution
outside, but inside it is heaven
I have another small colony nearby
Where I can send all the garbage
After all they are used to them

I showed my brilliance
To a old friend of mine
But he loathed the way I lived
For me caring less about fellow beings
But I seldom care
I ask myself the question
When big capitalists
Can make all the hue and cry
If their fishes die
And call it an accident
When because of them some thousands die
And thousands still not have come of its effect
Even after good number of years passed
And can say with all the cool
It is a closed chapter
Why can't I be stone-hearted
People don't lie in the past
Move on, move ahead
You gotta live with it
That is how the world works
I am still sending my garbage
To the nearby colony
