don't hunger for power


The power play
The politicians will do
The public will see
The long smiling faces
The sincerity is always in doubt
For the ambition holds the stars
Binding them to the sins
The stairs to power
The sound of drumbeats
The echo of hidden gong
Once it is used
The bowing heads in rows

When power in your hand
Know how to use it in kindness
For power will corrupt your soul
Binding you to the tentacles of the deep
You will hear the long howling
The desperation to get free
But the sins are plenty in the body
It will take a long time to heal
To get rid of bad

The taste of power
You can feel the push in itself
When you find you are in ill-health
You feel you have unfinished business
You want to stay afraid to let go
You will lose your soul
You will lose your life
For you forget to let it free
Walk away while you can breathe

In death everyone will say
The good things nothing of the bad
It is better to live simple
Enjoying the fruits of life
Passing your prime; time to let go
Don't hunger for power
It will take your life away
