They Do It Theit Own Way
They do it their own way.
Those who fear to lead,
rule others with iron fist.
Those who fear to govern well,
misgovern with impunity.
To rule and to misgovern,
are their arts and sciences,
of managing human society.
In both cases they arrogate
human spirit that hanker for
peace, justice and truth.
Yet these are human territories
that cannot be conquered
that cannot be subdued
that cannot be held in pockets
however tyrannical or evil
holder of the hammer may be.
