Power

A force greater than
And stronger than hurricane
Given to wise and fool alike
But thou are a test of wisdom

Thou expose capability ‘n’ possibility
To your holders, making them lords
Something that commands science
It makes a god of a man

Let us charge power positively
And make ourselves equal
Thou not equally
At least not to meager

For the value of power
Is in its positive dispensation
