classical wisdoms

 
all institution
requires we measure duly
where each must belong

plato will tell us
that only philosophers
know truly to rule

aristotle warns
the common folk hate the rich
and vice versa

master meng knows that
the king must serve the people
or hang by his neck

ancient thinkers
understanding a story
missing the picture
