Peasants Pay Them
I serve the people, said the preacher.
I serve the people, said the teacher.
Likewise said the doctor and the ruler.
I pay them all, said the peasant at last.

A cautious young ruler called Caesar
Caught cold and let forth a great snaesar
Don't worry, he said
I have a spare head
Tucked away in my nebuchadnaesar.

Man struggles with men.
Punishment is to spend the anger
And is not to set right the victim.
Laws are to augment the ruler
And is not to serve the subjects.
Man struggles with men to exist.
