Poem Title:
Poem
If we could look back to those neolithic times, When early man would walk and roam. There was a need for some kind of leadership Or hierarchy, whether away or at home. My guess is that they looked to the biggest or Strongest, not necessarily the wisest of men. As they hunted and forged for survival, While their numbers would grow in the den. This growth would soon become too much for One leader, no matter how strong. So this hierarchy developed new branches, Giving powers to others, right or wrong. As this expansion would eventually reach millions, The demands on leadership was put to the test. And many became corrupted by their power, Yielding to no one beneath on a quest. While this power has manifest differently, Generally God or great wealth were at the core. Leaving the barbaric that were of novel faith, To the masses and silent poor. For those that would cling to their power, History may provide answers to lend. Since rebellion is often what looks forward, Targeting the powerful they no longer defend. This is where hope must be held upon wisdom, To lessen the greed that surrounds mankind. Because power requires equal responsibility, Where it's not horded, leaving others behind.
