№ 635: The Way It Is

Labor secretary comes under fire for role in plea deal with financier accused of sexual trafficking involving underage girls


THE WAY OF THE WORLD (July 9)

“Rulers” will always do as they please.
That's parcel and part of their glory.
Though their activities cause others unease. . .
Big deal. So what? End of story.

The rich and the famous are favored by God,
who, frankly, is like that Himself.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
You cannot hoist them by their petard.
That is not good for your health.

If you try to apply workaday rules
to rulers and their lieutenants,
you'll find they have innumerable tools
to make things unpleasant for you and dependents.

Therefore you dare not do anything,
but hold your nose and kiss their ring.
