Power In the Wrong Hands

 

A child grows up

Always being told

He can do anything he wants

Taught to be so bold

 

Years pass as he grows older

His hand in daddy’s pocket

Getting whatever he wants

Daddy’s rich enough not to stop it

 

He cheats, lies and abuses

Feeding his childish ego

His wishes all granted

No one dares to say no

 

Power can be a dangerous thing

In the hands of an ego-maniac

The whole world his toy

With an unstable brain he lacks

 

He talks in circles

The ultimate narcissist

He’s the greatest he claims

Belief in him he insists

 

In life some things

Go hand in hand

And some things don’t… like

Power in the wrong hands
