Lest They May Sting- Ministers


Lest They May Sting

 

A tirade against  ministers with apologies to the Bard of Avon – William Shakespeare.

 

Marcus Brutus in Julius Caesar –

We must not elect them, though for my part

I know no personal cause to spurn them,

But for the obvious

They desire to be elected Ministers.

How that might change their nature, is the question.

It is the election result that may bring forth the serpent in them.

And then all of us will be in danger.

For they may sting at will.

The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins

Remorse from Power

And to speak truthfully of our elected representative,

Most of them have mastered this art.

It is common proof that

Lowliness is young ambition’s ladder

Where- to the climber upwards turn his face

But once his ambition is realized and he is elected,

He then will turn his back on the ladder

and set his sights on greener and higher pastures

So our Ministers may

Then, lest they may – we must prevent !

Since, at this juncture our evidence is based on conjecture,

Fashion it thus:-

What they are – augmented

Will be sufficient to make them tyrants

Therefore, think of them as a serpent’s egg

Which, hatched would definitely be a potential danger

Therefore, take no risk – smash the egg
And hope for better times thereafter
