466. All obey me

My doubt obeys me
When I tell him
To do as he wishes.

My jealousy obeys me
When I tell her
To do as she wishes.

My pride obeys me
When I tell him
To do as he wishes.

My fear obeys me
When I tell her
To do as she wishes.

My God obeys me
When He sees me
Smiling and dancing.

The world obeys me
When she sees me
Crying and sighing.
