Power, Sheer Power Poem by Hebert Logerie

Power, sheer power
Don't be at ease
Power is not at the hour
What we think it is.

Power kills
Power steals
Power destroys
Power voids.

Power is not what the whale thinks
It is. Power is not the bullets or the thanks
Power is not the machine guns or the Apaches
Power is not the lies, the flies, the fleas or the peas.

Power belongs to the People
Power is taller than the pole
Power is unpredictable
Power is unusual and stable.

Think, don't stop thinking
Yes, don't stop hoping and dreaming
Power has many meanings
Power smiles, laughs, cries, yells and sings.
