The Dynamism of Power

Preoccupied with power as a whole
instead of the power within yourself

The virtue to change your own world
to define who you are

For what strength does a whole give,
if one is shattered inside?

What weight does one add,
to rely on the measure of another?

Must you resolve your weakness,
without understanding it's nature?

For what does delusions add,
to the substance of a man?

That a man can not devour,
the insanity of the world
