Proverb Poem

 "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely"

Kings and Queens,
Five centuries ago,
Absolute control,
Undeniable power,
Do what they want,
Whenever they want.
Chinese emperors,
Start dynasties glorious,
Just, incredibly generours,
Caring about their people.
As more emperors come and go,
They get used to
Their infinite power, 
It's as if they 
Are supposed to be rich.
Monarchs of countries,
Become incredibly pompous,
Bombastic, and arrogant.
They sleep and spend,
Corrupted by power,
Surrounded and deafened by money,
They become the reason,
For the kingdom's demise.
