Do

Power over power   
Is a demon, 
who has    
silky, 
smooth, 
skin.   
With a diamond on his tongue, 
he will string you along, 
till you   
let, 
him, 
in.   

OH!   

Power over power   
is a siren   
with a   
pale, 
blue, 
voice.   
She will dig up all your dreams, 
and will give you all the means, 
so you   
have   
no   
choice.  

Yes!   

Power over power   
is dominion   
that will   
steal,   
your,   
gaze.   
It tells you what to see   
And dissolves your history   
till you   
learn, 
It's, 
ways.   

Look! 

Power over power   
is a liar.   
It will   
warp,   
your,   
time.   
No, what was said before   
maybe won’t be said again, 
but it   
might, 
still, 
rhyme.  

HEY! 

Power over power   
Is a nightmare   
that we   
call, 
a, 
dream.   
With every eyelid closed   
no ones left to be opposed   
no one   
hears, 
you, 
scream.   

LORD!   

 Power over power   
is voracious.   
it will   
eat   
you whole.   
It sees you have it rough   
but it never has enough   
so it   
takes, 
your,
soul.   

BUT!   

Power over power   
is a custom   
that we   
all, 
can, 
choose.   
We can change this history, 
but it has to start with me,
don’t let it
end, 
with, 
you.   

 We all know what we must do.
