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.
