The credentials of man.

The credentials of man.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Was the greed
the circumference of man?
Did two eyes give him the vision?
Were his achievements based on height?
For most infamous men were small.

When the credentials of man;
Napoleon and Adolf presided,
there downfall was over consumption,
they ate too much,
when the offerings given
were small.

They bit off more
than they could chew!

If only they listened
to their dentist!

if only.....i really like the philosophy and truth in this...little men with big dreams and over consumption...reminded me too, of something Casey Stengel once told his players..."line up alphabetically, by height."

Whole bunch of our politicians are doing time, for biting off more than they could pocket,( they bought apartments, country houses, and jewelry that was millions in value)
