Notes About The Poem

" KNOWLEDGE OF THE SELF " MY PHOTO, ©

Ruling Over People

The aim of ruling over others,

It should be the desire to help them elevate their 

Consciousness, to higher levels of understanding, 

As well as higher standards of living 

And 

Not to degrade them to groups of lesser beings and 

Of poverty 

Thus

Whoever wishes to rule must learn how to rule, 

Himself first!

Yes, dear Demetrios. Power, control, and understanding are continually decreasing. Dehumanizing the poor is wrong. Future leaders must find fresh methods to improve lives.
