The potency of a poem

An omen to thought provoking 

More pungent than potions 

More hungry than the wolf is

Ancient, long before the Romans

Superior to mere shoguns

Supreme expressions & powerful notions

Vast dialects and various emotions

Never the same perception

But that fiery passion is always present

Matching a spark to overthrow an overbearing opponent

Whether utilized and openly shining bright

Or withering away, locked up inside tight

As cogs in the clockwork are in motion

Producing hope from the hopeless

Eternal freedom of expression

An outlet for honest, unaltered raw emotions

Illuminating the heart and soul

Omnipotence
