Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Power Corrupts

Power corrupts, strengthens ego
Plunging us in darkness
Please let go, oh hermit, let go
Entwine with That oneness

Voice of conscience’s bleating
Save love, all else fleeting
Soul debilitating

Desire erupts
Power corrupts

In a world of cruelty and horror, love alone can win. I am in love with all your quietus ! :) Unseeking Seeker April 11, 2022 at 10:08 PM Thank you, Valsa! Why don’t you give this form a try? Title, end line and first line refrain being the same, the central idea sought to be conveyed, is emphasised in just 9 short lines

David Kavanagh April 11, 2022 at 3:17 PM Power indeed corrupts Seeker, but that’s ok so long as the impoverished and weak remain honest, such is life, always has been that way since the dawn of civilisation, is it changing, not through my eyes, I appreciate your message, I know you see things different than me, cheers David David Kavanagh April 12, 2022 at 12:49 AM Corruption on an individual scale may be fleeting, but it’s been around forever, on the grand scale of things, Unseeking Seeker April 11, 2022 at 6:35 PM If God search the aim, what avail power attributable to fleeting form?
