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...
