Put It To Good Use

Due to secrets, 
The imagination could be enemy of man.
For to think of destruction,
Could then force a weak man to act upon.
For to think of heinous crimes,
Could seduce the strength of the powerless.
Ah, think,
If imagination can take us to new worlds,
Can’t we come up with a way
To prevent the imagination
From allowing crimes against woman and man?
Imagine how the world
Could then be.
