Read the poem below and answer the question
Thou art the judge of man
Judging his plans and behaviour
Judging his speech and egotism
You are the patient Judge
Nations plan without having thee in view
They boast of their will
But soon you show them their follies
You are the patient Judge
Tomorrow and Tomorrow, go here and there
Time smiles and laughs
He frowns his face and consults with fate
You are the patient Judge
