Beware Tyrant

BEWARE TYRANT

Thou cannot be all
The executive, legislative and bench
Thy powers are in others
Who recognizes your

Thou could never be 
The importer and exporter
The manufacturer and consumer
The farmer and the banker

How can thou be?
The employer and the employee
The governor and the governe’
The actor and the audience

Think about
 And redress, for you’re, but one
