What is Power?????

Do we use power? 
Or does power use us by the hour?
 
Power is everywhere
No where is it rare
 
But are we in control?
Do we know how power's ball will roll?
 
Some may try to stay neutral
But that mindset is not mutual
 
Power wants us to give in
It wants us to do its sin
 
Power is like a virus
It comes in and deceives us
 
It makes us reproduce itself
So we die and it has full health
 
Power is a symbiote
That has no antidote
 
Power takes over our mind
And in most cases it can't rewind
 
Most…most but not all
There are those that don't fall
 
Those are rare
And are breathing unpoluted air
 
They truly have power
Not this symbiote of greed that makes us sour
 
They have power to say no
They have power to throw
 
Away the greed and hate
And instead love they create
 
Power's greatest expression is control

 

But if that expression is not fulfilled power will steal your soul
