Greater the power that is yours,

more the ‘face’ that you may lose.

Tread softly where the blossoms lie,

in another persons field.

written in protest for the way the Japanese
are taking over other countries by buying
their way in and yet do not become part of
that country, taking their profits and leaving;
Sounds almost Colonial!
