                POWER
          By ... Steve Lucky

As one gets older, power is gained
Distracting one from the original task.
This new found power needed to be contained.
Even one who wears a mask
Can not hide from his or her actions.
It is the price of greater authority.
To aviod being overconcerned about reactions
One should keep in sight the higher priority.
Since all power leaves a mark on the soul,
It needs to be mastered with practice and skill.
Better ways are needed to keep it in control.
With experience this need becomes easier to fill.
Though great power can destroy,
Most still want to have it to enjoy.
