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
