David Smith Poet Didactic

If Power Comes Your Way

If power comes your way,
You can use it to dictate the state of play,
So, use it wisely every day.

You will have the power to delegate,
You will have the power to relegate,
You will have the power to dedicate,
As long as you concentrate.

You will have the power to renovate,
You will have the power to update,
You will have the power to Innovate,
As long as you don't hesitate.

You will have the the power to hate,
You have the power to be late,
You have the power to tempt fate,
Should you chose to activate.

If power comes your way,
Know that it will dissipate,
If you delegate,
To those who wish to speculate,
In order to accumulate.

Victor Buhagiar December 26, 2020 at 11:05 PM Power can corrupt a person. It happened to a lot of people in Malta. Loved your poem. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. May the rest be happy too. ~~ David Smith December 27, 2020 at 1:41 PM Our Christmas was wonderful thanks. Everyone pitched in with cooking and cleaning and there were smiles all round. Looking forward to another year above ground and more time with grandson and celebrating my birthday on Friday. We give thanks for our situation every day. Look forward to your 2021 poems.
