Common man I

_m_ostwanted

A man's topmost power is to show love,

To admit love and to be loved

As there is no greater power in the universe

Than the power of love 

But the universe doesn't give power

To those who love the other

Rather, it put their misery below 

The feet of those who really are powerful

The universe places the one who love the other

At the mercy of the one who has power

The weapon does not kill

But the mindset of the one who wields it does

The roses do not love

But they expresses the feelings of the one who present them

Love is power but power is power

The common man enjoys love

But the powerful man enjoys power

The common man shows love so as to be loved

But the powerful man shows power to be loved

The common man expresses his feelings

But the powerful man exercises his power

The common man desires not the pleasure of the powerful man

For the power of a common man resides in his love

But the power of the powerful man 

Draws the breath of a common man.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The picture was sent to me by a friend and he requested that I don't create a bad image for the women, so I tried my best. I should have given credit to the owner of the art but I don't know who and where the picture originated from.

    "The weapon does not kill
    But the mindset of the one who wields it does." This poem is transcendental.
