Behind the king is the far greater KING.
Behind the prince, the PRINCE.
God allows governments, though
The anarchist is hard to convince.
Be subject soul, to the higher powers,
No power but God ordains. [1]
A king that is good gives God pleasures,
But the bad ones “give Him” pains.

[1] Readers – do NOT take this ’07 poem as Approval of what is in WDC or American statehouses (no more than Russian governments). In all our dissatisfaction (how much are we praying? L) we need to be reminded of what Paul wrote in Rom. 13, and that he lived under a worse government than ours.
