When bodies meet together to consider future routes
for their own salvation there are often many doubts.
How easier to let a king or tyrant lead the way,
to cede to them the power to control us day-by-day.
Then we can sit in stupor, never pondering a thing,
or feed our lust for power in brown-nosing thug or king.
The tyrant of all tyrants is the devil, who decrees
how to think and act with calculating expertise.
But God would have us struggle with our conduct and with rules.
And for his Son the Savior we may stumble and be fools.
