Take heed, ye men of government:
your britches grow too small.
You strive to touch the firmament
but your sprawling empire shall fall.

Youe horses will but trample you,
your men shall toil in vain.
Your eggshell ideals will hinder you
from putting your kingdom together again.

When I was young my mother told me
"Son walk with careful stride.
There is a time for humility,
and a time for patriot pride."

As I grow older I'm losing faith
in presidential ability.
To the corrupt,the immoral, I sayeth
remember Humpty Dumpty.
I couldn't enter the PoetryvstheWorld contest, as I was judging a portion of it, but I really liked the prompt they had for the green round of the contest.. this is my take on that prompt: The fall of Government.
