The Juggernaut How firm he stands, The toughest beast In all the lands. Few dare to give him any fight. For who can stand above his height? So proud his speech, So proud his stride, His hubris swells up deep inside. But with all His pride and might, What brings him down Is out of sight. His enemy Is out of view. It feeds within, With little clue. He will not hear. He is not swayed. He will not seek physicians aide. And so the worm Will eat him ‘live. Upon his rot It loves to thrive. The Juggernaut Walks tall and free, But he must die in liberty.

The Juggernaut
The Juggernaut How firm he stands, The toughest beast In all the lands. Few dare to give him any fight. For who can stand above his height? So proud his speech, So proud his stride, His hubris swells up deep inside. But with all His pride and might, What brings him down Is out of sight. His enemy Is out of view. It feeds within, With little clue. He will not hear. He is not swayed. He will not seek physicians aide. And so the worm Will eat him ‘live. Upon his rot It loves to thrive. The Juggernaut Walks tall and free, But he must die in liberty.
The Juggernaut is an analogy to world empires who become so big that outside forces or other nations have severe trouble making them accountable. What inevitably brings them down is inside forces of corruption.
