Power, a force both feared and revered A force that can make one's heart swerve It can be held by a single hand Or shared among a band
With power comes great responsibility For with it, one can shape history It can be used for good or ill And the choices made will echo still
Power can bring about change But it can also cause great pain It can be used to oppress and control Or to uplift and make whole
It can be found in a leader's words Or in a mother's loving herd It can be held by a ruler's crown Or in the strength of a single frown
Power is a force to be reckoned with But it is not something to be fetched For true power lies not in might But in the choices we make, day and night.
