Or Else Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Or Else

Rating: 5.0


To every action a reaction
To that there is no discretion
Too much power corrupts
Anti power interrupts
And rightly so
We should know

A monopolar world is dangerous
The power that be, becoming riotous
Disregarding all
A recipe for a fall
Nature abhors a vacuum
Another power will rise to fill the room

It's tough at the top
No one wants to be top cop
If a pre-eminent power wants pole position
Then its got to maintain a fair composition
Otherwise abusing power
Can drop Goliath from his tower

"If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down"
This advice is sound
Spread it around
Who the cap fits wear with gown

Extremism will exterminate
Temper all "isms" with fate
Temper your socialism
Temper your capitalism
Temper your racism
Temper your facism

Or nature will do it for you
This is true
When you are least prepared
You will be maximally scared
Know that all humans are the same
Play balanced in the life game

Or else

Who the cap fits wear with gown..... this is wise advice. Know that all humans are the same....if this philosophy was true the finger printing experts would not say every individual has a unique finger print and same as every wife would not have a unique single husband....not all people are same. Some are black and some white.
