What becomes overexpanded becomes diminished.
What is too strong becomes weakend.
What is too high is cut down.
What is overpossessed becomes impoverished.
It is in the nature of process that in the final stages,
those who are overextended,
overharmed and overprivileged,
shall overcome.
Disaster stalks the fish
which swims up from its deep water home,
and the army which threatens to conquer
those beyond its own borders.
