Power is love and strength <br />Showered on others at any length <br /> <br />Power is a woman <br />Standing delicately like a flower <br /> <br />Power is intelligence <br />Without pretence that is so intense <br /> <br />Power is knowledge <br />We all acknowledge <br />As politicians take the oath and pledge <br /> <br />Along comes the usual greed <br />With the desire to feed <br />On weaknesses with speed <br />So careful, take heed! <br />Before you dry up and bleed <br /> <br />Power knows no friends <br />Powers shows and sends <br />A message of uneven ends <br /> <br />Power is spoken words <br />When battles and wars are won <br />Without the need of the gun <br /> <br />Power is the human touch <br />That soothes the heart so much <br />While we observe, stand and watch <br /> <br />But on the whole <br />Power is control <br />Its one and only ultimate goal!<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/power-is/
