Empowerment

I used to think 
that comic book hero's
were better than me
but then I realised 
they just punish crime
surely it's better 
to teach the man success
I used to think 
that strenght 
could make the man
but surely it's better
to love
you do not need 
to be the muscle clown
it's love that make's 
a better
world turn round
not the love that's 
satisfied by sin
but love that satisfied 
by what you gave.
The love that teaches people
how to win.
