Today's word is "timocracy" ... tahy-MOK-ruh-see ... a form of government in which a certain amount of property is requisite as a qualification for office. (Dictionary.com)
Reverse
So many ways to rule a world,
To remain above it all,
To keep power close at hand,
Others at your beck and call.
Whether with timocracy,
Or autocratic zeal,
The only thing that matters,
Is how the rulers feel.
How different then, the law of love,
Which gives itself away,
Placing others above self,
Revelation on display.
