God gave you power to build and help and lift; But you proved prone to persecute and slay And from the high and noble course to drift Into the darkness from the light of day. He gave you law and order, strength of will The lesser peoples of the world to lead; You chose to break and crush them through life’s mill, But for your earthly gains to make them bleed: Because you’ve proved unworthy of your trust, God—He shall humble you down to the dust.
