Weakness of Power - Uzziah the King

A lifetime of hard work A life full of pain and trials Yet thy God gave you success And power and fame Had become you And then you forget Him You thought You’re over the law And you cross the boundary No matter how hard you build Your power and greatness Will put you down in seconds if you drowned by it Great king you have forgotten The day when you sought Him And now you’re afflicted By your own Power hungry soul From top you fall down And the weakness of power Consumed you till you’re death And the stigma it brings stings you till today

Wow, this poem is spectacular, by far one of my favorites I have ever read (and I'm not just saying that). Is it published or what? It's really good, and you are extremely talented... I've read some of your other poems as well. You should visit my site: poeticpossibilities.tk ! I think this poem could have a really good chance of winning one of our contests! Wish you the best with your poetry and I hope you get published! : )Jacob Cramer

Hi Jacob, thank you for the comment yes i will visit your site soon. It is not publish yet, It is one of the hundred poems I've written sad to say not one of them has been published yet although I got a draft of 2 of my soon to be publish poetry collection book. I am saving up so that I can self publish the book. Thanks a lot again for the comment. I'll be reading your poems too.
