When power stares you in the face
Sit still and simply smile

When power speaks in tongues
Cut through with concise clarity

When power tries to deceive
Stay alert to playfully perceive

Finally, if power tries to break you
Remember, that I make you

As zoon politikon, the supreme Shakti
Who tames or slays the lofty Leviathan
