Powerful men are well
advised not to use violence
For violence has a habit
of returning
Like a vengeful
boomerang
A general is well advised
To achieve nothing more
than his orders
Not to take advantage of
his victory
Nor to glory, boast or
pride himself
To do what is dictated
by necessity
Not by choice
For even the strongest
force will weaken with time,
And then its violence
will return, and kill it.
