Only Two Sources of Power

Only two sources of power exist
The first is inside Mahogany
The second is inside scriptures

The impatient crack open mahogany
Inside they find tricky power to destroy
Cynical men always follow that way

The patient crack scriptures open
Inside they find secure power to build
Men of humility always follow that path
