A Gift In My Bag

What I have in my bag
is a very glittering gift
I want to enjoy it alone
but something says “back off”

This gift in my bag is golden
no human can resist egotism
to share is a nightmare case
all I desire is enjoy it alone

Truly much love I have for it
but it is not my thing alone
people gave it in good faith
yet in bad faith I possess it 

For common good power is 
but an opium it is once got
