No Man Is Above The Law

No Man Is Above The Law

Ill-favored wind of tyranny that blows 
foul rage across land of America, 
disperse at breath of honest folk who sing 
brave hymns of respect for democracy, 
for we will overcome cancer of hate 
with soul-healing cure of justice for all. 

The supreme state-sustaining principle 
on which we found our strong democracy 
decrees that no man is above the law, 
that even one we elect head of state 
must act in parameters of the right, 
guided by love for the people they serve. 

The person we choose to steer ship of state 
safely through sharp rocks of arrogance and greed 
should not exploit the people of the land, 
nor wield institutions of government 
to benefit their own ill-gotten wealth 
detrimental to the whole common good. 

The individual mortal human soul, 
whom we entrust to guide our national way, 
should serve the people with courageous care 
through clear attention to our common needs 
by executing programs that support 
will of each person to thrive from their work. 

When devilish spirit of selfish greed 
dares show its face with arrogant disdain 
by possessing the haughty businessman 
who strives to control functions of our state 
to steal public funds with small blood-stained hands, 
we unite to fight his dictatorship. 

When Pluto emerges from smoke of Hell 
urging Midas to steal gold Crown of Christ, 
we join Minerva bearing Torch of Truth 
to drive that cruel devil of tyranny 
back into cavern of the underworld 
where he stews in bitter rage of defeat. 

The noble principle of leadership, 
that no man is above the law, shall guide 
administration of our commonwealth 
powered by engine of democracy 
where educated people analyze 
best methods to ensure justice for all. 

Though tyranny seems to be on the rise, 
grasping to control reins of government 
to impose their false system of beliefs, 
democracy gains strength from trust in truth 
to maintain state of sustainable growth 
so we share wealth in our land of the free.
