Carly Dale Poet Rhyme

With great power comes great responsibility

"With great Power comes great Responsibility" 
What is power? What is a responsibility?
I ask these questions daily.
Is power a synonym? For Rich or Witch?
Or is a whole nother thing which we cant just seem to itch?

If people with powers have responsibilities why don't they serve them?
when they come across people of the less they just kick and ignore them.

"- great responsibilty " is true I must say that
But how come the people with POWER have to have that?

Trusted people, who are loyal and kind. but because they have a different skin just makes then "one of you're kind!" 
The kind should have the power not the rich or poor.
its the LAND OF THE FREE so why can't we do more!

The people with power abuse it greatly, so is that why everywhere is a danger lately?
Im young and responsible but I have no power. 
But the old man with money has a pool, workers, and loads of POWER!

If great power gives you great responsibilities, 
how come the people with power cause nothing but great hostilities

"With great power comes great responsibilty" was what a very wise man once said.

Maybe the rich need to get that in there f----ing head.

Natasha L Scragg August 2, 2026 at 11:22 PM Carly, thank you for sharing in the contest. Your poem inspires us to think about the meaning behind responsibility and power. Though not to be abused, they sadly are, which comes across in your poem. Humanity can sadly be lost in the wielding of power, but it is a great responsibility to use such power correctly. Bringing it down to a more personal level, your words help me to stop and consider, what is my power? Do I use my responsibility correctly? Your poem inspires much thought. ✍️✨️🙂
