LET NOT POWER BE EMPOWERED UNLESS IT SERVES AS A BENEFACTOR!

LET NOT POWER BE EMPOWERED UNLESS IT SERVES AS A BENEFACTOR!

When Power is empowered to be cruel and blind,
Poor subjects are subject to be haplessly thrown behind!
An unwanted anarchy ascends an arbitrary and despotic throne,
Alas! Bosom friends are treated like the enemies sworn!

When Power is empowered to be insensitive and ruthless,
It sucks the innocent and gullible bloods as the ignoble ogres do!
It hoodwinks and curses the credulous masses, and lives on their flesh,
It embitters public pleasure, and poisons their priceless peace too!

When Power is empowered to be sadistically absolute,
It degrades, depraves, and to swindle and sway it turns resolute!
It feeds the hope leaves while with a betrayal knife, cuts their trust roots,
It behests them to beg on the roads; begets discontents as the treacherous brutes!

Thus, let nowhere Power be empowered to rule like a deadly dictator,
Let everywhere Power be dethroned unless It serves as a kind Benefactor!
