Unparalleled

Unparalleled power Unparalleled opportunity Opportunity of a lifetime Opportunity to dream a dream Dream that isn't utopian Dream of a peaceful world World of yours and mine World devoid of hate Hate for hate's sake Hate engendered by ignorance Ignorance by fools Ignorance so tragic Tragic stupidity Tragic mess seeping deep Deep inside the core of the soul Deep in our hearts Hearts that incessantly bleed Hearts that inexhaustibly weep Weep a river Weep a floodgate of tears Tears that can't be stopped Tears that can't be hidden Hidden for long Hidden behind a veil Veil of unfathomable secrecy Veil concealing a flurry of emotions Emotions that flow like a stream Emotions so visceral Visceral fears Visceral pain Pain no medicine could ever dull Pain with white-hot intensity Intensity so searing Intensity so overwhelming Overwhelming sense of unease Overwhelming power Power to corrupt Power to entrap Entrap anyone Entrap me in various ways Ways uncountable Ways destructive to us all All of humanity All who live and breathe Breathe air and life Breathe fire and passion Passion to fight fire with fire Passion to fight for a change Change!
