Authority Lost

To those who hold authority God-given, true Far better they in modesty not to o'erwhelm the few Strive to conquor besetting pride O'ercome that which on them does abide Should you enter in their power You'll find the taste exceeding sour For true it is that in their stay No profit gained within their sway They know not that 'fore too long They shall reap the Whirlwind strong For Karma has a funny way of revisiting those who oft-times stray So keep in mind these words quite true Treat others as you would have them you.
