I Hate Power

I hate power, I hate it.
I don’t want power, I don’t want it.
I fear power, I fear it.
I see power, I detest it.

For what is power over people?
To crush people for financial reasons?
For the few to have what should be for the many?
For their greed of £billions in their hands while we scrape by on pennies.

I hate power, I hate it.
I don’t want power, I don’t want it.
I fear power, I fear it.
I see power, I detest it.
