Power And The People


Is it the power for which we all yearn?

Or is power something we should earn?

What is that they mean when they need power?

Is the expectations something to make people cower?

The bullies when we were at school

What was it that they thought they should rule?

The need to cause to others so much strife,

Was it that something was missing in their own life?

Dictators again what is it that they seek?

To inflict so much pain upon the weak.

Is their a reason inside their minds?

Thye truth all lost and the reasons no one finds.

Power for them it would seem is the gain,

to bring so much misery and pain.

How is it possible that we reach this state?

Why can't it be stopped before it is too late?

Power and leadership go hand in hand,

this is something we all must understand.

If people have to suffer to meet this goal,

then power and leadership means nothing at all.

Forward Poetry's ethos has always been to act as a bridge to publication rather than a barrier. This, along with our passion for poetry and creative writing, has seen a humble family business evolve into the biggest publisher of new poetry in the world. We understand that poetry is subjective, that everyone writes in a different style and that what one person can love, another can hate! Our collections showcase a variety of themes, writing styles and poets from all walks of life. They are carefully edited and compiled to celebrate and complement the craft that all of our contributors enjoy poetry.
