Best Philosophypower Poems
Unyielding purity, capable wonder, confident action,
Innocent query, unknowing wisdom, entitled arrogance.
An amiable nature, providing possibility.
A generous future, granting potency.
The quagmires of the mind are rendered powerless;
Evils of the world go unaccomplished.
Corruption is purified; The flame of sin is extinguished.
View the extent of this power.
However just, however good this power,
It is not singularly immortal.
Its champions, however valiant, however effective,
Are extinguished, one by one.
Yet are distinguished, too, one by one.
Thus, immortality is reached.
Leaving its own legacy, it replenishes itself.
And so this power is unshakable and immortal;
The power of youth.
Civilizations appeared and disappeared
Empires have risen and fallen
Their cultures and legends discovered
Left behind for future generations, a token.
To teach us what enriches and what destroys
That those who have gained power by force
Have fallen by the hands of discontent
Leaving behind a culture of fear, that need no encores.
Those who have gained power by wisdom
Have left behind treasures that remained
Revealed in their writings, part of their history
Still inspiring today for our own victories to gain.
What destroys, disappears into relativity
What builds, remains in the heart of humanity
Fear and anger meet relativity
Love and truth meet eternity.
