Notes About The Poem

Power

Power
                 It can corrupt
           Some people abuse it
       Some people even kill for it
  Power can make one feel invinsible
 And some people can get drunk on it
     It's sweet in responsible hands
         Scary in the wrong hands
            When you have clout
                       Power

Thank you, Jan:-) Agreed. Abuse of power is unfortunately commonplace not just in our society, but all over the world!
