What Is Power

If I could seize total power What exactly would that be? To do absolutely anything I want While leaving no access to me? To dazzle and to shock Those who will not recognize That I have so much to give Yet they always avoid my eyes If I could flash some money And lure them to my understanding How long before I grow tired Of their disheartened flattering? And if I were Superman Assuming total invulnerability How long before their servitude Becomes just another annoyance to me? And if I had a spaceship With the power of the Enterprise How long before their worship Would put a glaze across my eyes? And if I were God Wouldn't creation be my character? To live and to let live Instead of a malevolent dictator? To discover the nature of power Is a lesson utmost essential Perhaps power is the looking inward Toward MY untapped potential
