Maria Rose - A tirade on Power

A tirade on Power, you mean?
Well…Exert whatever you have within you
Doesn’t matter if you die during the process.
You followers will give you due respect.
Don’t nurse even a passing thought
About those upon whom you exert.
If so, the effect will be ridiculous
And be ready to accept the insults for a life
Obscure? For instance,
While walking through a city of ants
Do not walk softly
And ponder about the lives you crush.
If so, the ant that saved from your shoe will scar
Your good name among the ants.
And they will disgrace the whole mankind.
So, as I told you,
If you don’t want to be disgraced
By those upon whom you place your feet
Exert Whatever you have within you
Doesn’t matter if you die..(O I told that)

Maria Rose
