Turning Pages
The scholar turns the pages on Napoleon's excesses,
And Hitler didn't do much better with his plans,
His nature does not yield much to these militant expresses,
And well he knows the folly that is Man's.
The best of wisdom says that one should leave this man alone,
For he has distilled wisdom from the ages.
The things that shall be written he has gleaned from what's been sown,
And he has no reluctance turning pages.
