People Power

People have the power
When people have the brains 
when people have the brains
they keep people out of range

People have the power
when they have understanding 
with knowledge that towers 
they change those they stand with 

People don’t have power
people have numbers 
they challenge the power
keeping them under 

Create flurries of power
to tumble the authority
they get rid of the power
yet fail to end the story
