The Power

M.E.M.

Power can be handed down throughout the years,

Handled with great care and bring forth influential positivity.

But if put in the wrong hands it could be used for great evil.

 

Seeing it as the carrot and the stick method,

Handing over power to the right trusting people

Then the world would be a good place.

 

If given to manipulative people,

They will rain destruction down upon you.

Until there’s nothing, left!    

 

So,

pick,

a side.

 

You can’t stay up on that fence, forever looking straight. 

You pave the future for humanity.

    fences serve a purpose, see
    without middle grounds
    it would all be that eye for an eye
    of all-consuming, futile hate
    that's why middle grounds, exist
    to balance out
    the zealotry in humanity's
    fallible extremes..
    thanks for sharing
