Power is the lust of man
who stare in dumb ignorance of sovereignty unchallenged
Power makes slaves of men and kings of slaves
It makes fools of heroes and heroes of fools
Power takes the just and makes them wretched
It takes the selfless and it makes them selfish
Power denies us the status of men
but allows us the shallow graves of indifferent swindlers
Power is a dream to be attained and hoarded
it gives men something to strive for, something to die for
Power is the unholy siren
who lures in men and women with promises of wealth and pleasure
Power is the driving force behind misery
It takes Angels and makes of them demons
Power destroys good men,power corrupts
Is that not what it's for?
