Statesmanship

The king is father,
And his ministers are loving mothers.
His subjects are foolish children;
They only receive what love brings.

Schooled in saving the masses,
The king feeds and guides them.
Then no one will desert this land —
This is the way to govern a country.

Peace and prosperity will prevail if each —
King, minister, and subject — lives as he should.
