How change of chairs makes human beings queer! <br />That power corrupts minds is truly true; <br /> No lion can ever become a deer; <br />Nor can any elephant like cows moo. <br /> <br />How men in power behave so different! <br />Power alone cannot command respect; <br />How men settle old scores with mind so bent! <br />The Power-Bug can any man infect. <br /> <br />And very soon misuse of power begins, <br />The man his doom in much unconceived of ways; <br />Unless level-headed, be they earthlings, <br />Prematurely, ill-fated end their days. <br /> <br />The humble man in power stays for long, <br />Desisting all his life from doing wrong.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-power-corrupts/
