POWER
What is power? It can be good if used For good, with love, judgment, and restraint, But what man does not have the slightest taint? Total evil is full power abused.

Full power has destroyed the lives of men,
Destroyed whole nations in the course of history,
But even tyrants die and leave a legacy
Of hate against oppression after them.
This hate of vice brings zeal for change for good,
And stirs once apathetic souls to give
Their best to see themselves and others live
In peace and harmony as brothers should,
And thus are born new leaders who will fight

To remedy injustices to right.
