An AMBROSE BIERCE Poem Re-posted For The Occasion

________________________________________________________________________________________________



By what right, then, do royal rulers rule?
Whose is the sanction of their state and pow'r?
He surely were as stubborn as a mule
Who, God unwilling, could maintain an hour

His uninvited session on the throne, or air
His pride securely in the Presidential chair.

Whatever is is so by Right Divine;
Whate'er occurs, God wills it so. Good land!
It were a wondrous thing if His design
A fool could baffle or a rogue withstand!

If so, then God, I say (intending no offence)
Is guilty of contributory negligence.

Ambrose Bierce
The Devil's Dictionary
