Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Power Intoxicate

Power intoxicate
The loss of common sense
Can be well seen on the hills
Where we have the men on power
Mostly on the third world

Power intoxicate
Could it be that
They don't see
Or they can't feel
Could it be 
That their hearts are stick
To greed with a glue that can 
Never melt
Or they got so much to 
Never realise they are the
Example to their community 

Power intoxicate
Why is it that 
When so many good men 
get 
Up to leader ship
They turn vampires
How come this position 
Of leadership 
Make you stink to
Your people like you are 
So intoxicated with thy 
Greed


Power intoxicate
The voice of the people
Is the voice of God
Oh man please listen
The power you abuse 
Has a great damage
It cursing to humanity
Calm down and look 
Above material satisfaction 
To see what value is it
If you lead with a truth

Power intoxicate
Power intoxicate the corrupt mind
Power intoxicate the greedy soul
Power intoxicate the weak
Power intoxicate an evil mind 
Yet 
Power intoxicate not
The man with a truth 
For the light he carry 
Shines so bright 
Like the sun 
As he energies his people
To no doom nor illusion 

Power intoxicate
A wise leader
Steals not
Cheat not
Lie not
Oppress not
Discriminate  not
But teach and lead
With love not only 
For himself
As he move along his 
Ways he never let his 
People down 
For this kind of man
Is free from getting to 
The point where
Power intoxicate
