When $x(t)$ and the output $y(t)$ are related by linear differential equations, why is the system unstable when $M>N$?

This is two linear differential systems equating each other. \begin{equation} \frac{d^Ny(t)}{dt^N}+a_1\frac{d^{N-1}y(t)}{dt^{N-1}}+\cdots+a_{N-1}\frac{dy(t)}{dt}+a_Ny(t)=\\ b_{N-M}\frac{d^Mx(t)}{dt^M}+...
