Empires, Nations, and Society

Subjugate an empire

And it will surely crumble

Build a nation

And it will inevitably rise 

Install a lazy drone

And let the harvest fail

Set up a watchtower

And get good retuns 

Castrate a palace

And live among eunuchs

Endue a populace

And they become fruitful

Darken a mind

And it will dwindle 

Enlighten the heart

And it will live 

Indulge a servant

And nurture entitlement

Train a child right

And have a noble legacy 

Clutch a passing wind

And go empty-handed

Share a token around

And occupy the city

Squander a resource

And it will abate

Save a quarter

And it becomes a bank 

Conquer a territory

And claim the goods

Disciple a troop

And redeem the treasure 

Demonstrate arrogance

And spotlight your ignorance

Be willing to learn

And be crowned with insight

Binge a fatty junk

And ache your bowels

Dine on humble fruit

And bloom in health 

Cuddle a street fight

And end up in prison

Seek and pursue peace

And set the village at liberty 

Despise a marker in history

And repeat its blunder

Learn a great principle

And endure in business
