Power

There’s a power in silence,
or just a single word,
the strength of any message,
relies on being heard.

There’s the power of love,
in finding your passion,
and following your heart,
not following any fashion.

There’s a power in ideas,
where imagination thrives,
we could save the planet,
and help change lives.

There’s power all around us,
we know the world’s unfair,
power should come labelled,
“to be handled with care”.
