THE GREED OF POWER

The greed of power
Humans never learn
For in it the curse brawls
Deepen into the souls

I don’t know about you
I know how it works
The eyes sparkle; the mind works
The urge to show it
The wealth it brings
Of master and slaves

The brute power
It brings tears and misery
Of the people and country
I don’t know about you
I have read history
It never brings cheers

The greed of power
Endangers one’s journey
Of be kind and simple
It makes the fabric of society
Living in constant alert

Of the dangers
When power corrupts the minds
The fight for survival
It has become the constant mantra
