Unsinkable Titanic! Poem by Ali Rahimi

Oscar Wilde 's biting wit, flamboyant dress and wonderful eloquence,
Was rewarded by imprisonment and hard labor,
Accused of homosexuality, and moral indecency,
Died in poverty in Paris, where he had taken resort,
Marie Curie, first female Noble Prize winner,
For exploration of radioactivity,
Died by exposure to radiation,
Napoleon Bonaparte was in quest of absolute influence,
Won several battles, reigned Europe,
Was defeated at Waterloo,
Faced years of miserable confinement, infamy and humiliation,
Adolf Hitler, the decorated war veteran, aggressive invader,
Wanted to rule the world,
Charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda machine,
The populist rabble rouser,
killed himself with Eva Braun, in fear, distress and disgrace,
Draco was thrown hats and cloaks in a display of honor,
At the crust of his popularity,
Was suffocated to death under huge pile of cloaks.
John F. Kennedy was told just before his assassination:
“Mr. President you can’t say that Dallas doesn’t love you.
H.G. Wells called the First World War “the war that will end war.
Beethoven lost his hearing, Monet almost went blind,
A police officer can be worse than a criminal,
He is to reinforce the law,
Perpetrates vice, crime with impunity,
Doctors are to save lives,
Conrad Murray intoxicated Michael Jackson,
Homicide, or probably assisted suicide?
Opposite of your estimation, beyond imagination,
Crushes our contemplations,
Macbeth, infatuated by ambition and power,
Was plagued by vanity, paranoia, and death,
Don’t try to high to the sun,
Your wings will be burned,
Don’t extend your expectations too much,
Simple man has less pangs of anxiety,
Slave kills masters’ wife and kids,
Slave kills master and marries his wife,
Prison warden sets prisoners free,
Teacher abuses student,
Student screws teacher,
Priest molests the kid,
Police sell drugs,
Doctor kills patient, marries wife,
Barrister divorces wife, marries the widow,
Son kills father, marries mother,
Brother murders brother,
Thief is rewarded, gets higher position, promotion,
Stupid fools rule talented mass,
Rapist is cherished,
Hypocrite is adored,
Savage leader is supported,
Beautiful woman loves, worships stupid, ugly man,
Handsome, intelligent man marries ugly, crazy woman,
World weightlifting champion is killed by teenagers,
Old senile doddering foolish politicians survive, young strong intellectuals die,
Prisoners are decent, educated,
United Stated funds Mujahedin, Taliban to fight Soviet Union.
Malaysian aircraft goes missing, tribal man is safe and sound.
It rains on your wedding day, shiny in funerals.
‘’Smoking kills’’ on cigarette packs.
Charles Darwin marries his first cousin,
When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German,
Gunpowder was found by Chinese alchemists in search of “elixir of immortality.”
The unsinkable Titanic!
The unsinkable Titanic!
Life is ironic!
Yes, life is ironic!
