Domination2 Poem by John Prophet

Domination.
Power.
Hard fought.
Brass
knuckles.
Stepping
over,
on.
Soul
sacrificing
subju­gation.
Doing
what it
takes.
Power.
Self
indulgent.
Ends
justify.
Domination
of the
few.
Taking.
Terrarium
drama.
Just
hamsters
in the
wheel.
Cosmic
insignificance.
Momentary
grandeur.
Transitory
­ecstasy.
Fleeting
echo.
Power
fades,
diminishes.
Ultimately,
mere­ly
dust
in the
wind.
Long
forgotten.
Power.
To what
end?
