Dear Mr President

Your might may come from the Pentagon;
But remember even the Roman Legion is now gone;
You may have conquering armies all over the world;
But remember all the seas once belonged to Caesar.

You may have the biggest financial muscles;
But remember Titans existed before Hercules;
You may be about to toast the Nobel Prize;
Remember failure to shape a better world is your demise.
