Don''t surrender your power to others your personal power is your own <br />Some people look up to their gurus but some gurus they have been known <br />For to take advantage of their admirers though gurus quite good overall <br />Some of them do become corrupted and from grace they have been known to fall. <br /> <br />Do not surrender your power to others for that gives them power over you <br />One can only stay true to self only and to your own self remain true <br />Be willing for to help out others and if you give then you can take <br />If you treat all others as equals a new friend each day you will make. <br /> <br />Do not surrender your power to others if you bow to your queen or king <br />You are paying homage to class distinction and that is not such a good thing <br />Since they too were born from a woman and before they walked they too did crawl <br />Are they that superior that you should bow to them and in so doing make yourself small. <br /> <br />Do not surrender your power to others but give everybody their due <br />And treat everyone as your equal and happiness only pursue <br />And others for that will respect you and your praises feel happy to sing <br />And they will say such a good person and he or she does their own thing.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-surrender-your-power/
