Power

Power

Is pure power indestructible,
What do we really know of power? 
As I see it,
We really know feck all!

Power often sits side by side with leadership,
Cometh from nowhere,
Except within.
With that in mind,
Everyone’s responsibility,
Essentially, 
Is the path they choose in life.
Take power or lose power,
The option of power is yours!

It has human’s different attributes,
Lined up wall to wall.
We can have great ability,
Until Incapacity makes us tumble and fall.
With great Capabilities though,
You’re more vulnerable.
Subconsciously Incapable.
Do You think you’re really indestructible. 

It’s such a widespread word,
POWER.
Is it the sun with its intermittent,
Solar rays.
We’ve electricity,
Steam and its vapours,
Also juice,
Water power and air.
We even burn faeces.
How did they find that out?
As I’m unclear.
Or something man-made and dangerous,
World ending,
I’m talking nuclear!
There’s a mad man with a green button,
With a Chinese nut job by his side.
Wanting the whole world it’s clear
Not only that,
But they’re cosy,
Also with those other communists,
North,
Not south Korea!

A punch to the head. 
A kick to the belly.
Either of them,
Is a hell of a welly.
It’s intense,
It’s immense,
An uppercut to the bollocks,
Can Cause impotence.

How hard do you throw your weight around,
When you are the biggest,
And the others are not.
You can pick up Real power in a penny,
When from the top of a tall building you drop.
See there’s another power,
Velocity.
When dropped from a height,
A £2 coin could kill you,
Like a balloon you’d go pop.

Potentiality,
Ability or Competency.
Cogency,
Vigour or potency.
Energy,
Vigour or intensity.
Each are things we learn and see.

Authoritativeness,
Might or
Impressiveness.
Effectiveness,
Weight or persuasiveness.
Or could it be,
Forcefulness,
Strength or all powerfulness.
Which one,
For yourself, 
Do you foresee.

Power in the wrong hands can be catastrophic.
In the right hands,
Power,
Real power
Can be un-cataclysmic.
Saving the world,
Not destroying it.

Power Is all around us,
From the wind,
blowing through our seasonal leaves,
To volcanic explosions,
Or When earths tectonic  plates shift,
Pull apart and squeeze.
Natural fires started by the sun, 
In dry bushes or the tallest of trees.
The fire was spread and fed,
By the gentlest or most powerfulness,
Gust or breeze.

There are so many types of power I’ve not here inscribed.. 
Some are good.
Some are bad.
Some are written in just scribes....
It dates back to the start of the universe.
I’d love to know what that power was,
Or even how it’d be described!
