''POWER CORRUPTS"

''Some trouble-maker has yelped
That power corrupts people
And every smart-alec confirms it
Already for many years in a row
Not noting - and here's the misfortune
That more often people corrupt power''

Now then a hundred points to the person who can tell me who wrote that.

What a coincidence.
A week ago, while I was at a library, I picked up a book about Yuri Andropov. In the book it had this poem.

One hudred points to that man, or women. Did he write anything else comrade?
