    In the presence of the strong, the weak are always guilty.

    There is a beautiful poem by Khungo-Sehber

    The wolf and the lamb

    A baby lamb
    was drinking water
    from a stream
    When a wolf
    looked piercingly
    from high ground
    Began to speak.
    “What shameless ways,
    such foolish boldness,
    such a peewee
    sheep’s urchin,
    who do you think you are,
    sticking your nose here,
    busybody nosing around
    messing up my clean waters.
    I’ll pinch your nose
    Choke you dead.”
    “Oh don’t get angry,
    Sir wolf,
    I am so lowly
    you are saying things untrue…”
    “Am I lying, you twurp,
    Suppose you forgot last year,
    But I remember the past,
    In this same place, same time,
    you spoke curse words to my Dad.”
    “I am not even one year old.”
    “So you think it was your brother, little fool.”
    “I am an only child without brother.”
    “Then it was one of your inlaws
    or a member of your impure race.
    So don’t you dare move.”
    Your guard dogs’
    your shepherders’
    revenge I will exact from you.”
    The fox thus spoke,
    leaped at the lamb,
    grabbed him
    Ran with him
    Into the dark forest.
    What is most important to understand,
    Amongst the powerful
    the weak are always guilty.
