Knowing the Stripes

Confucius, Chinese Philosopher. 551

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

KNOWING THE STRIPES

In the jungle of our perception resides our emotions

Revolving around trust and fear

It is logical to hold the notion

That we fear the tiger and trust what we hear

The tiger is real, we must trust his intentions

He is exactly as he appeared

But from what they've proven, in my contention

Empty promises of a government are to be feared
