What do you think this poem is about?

Concept

Do I need power
In spreading my ideas
And what is the definition of power
Coercion
Deceit
Brute power
This all leads to degeneration
Spread the ideas
With the power of love
Make a new path
Let the common intelligence
Rise and say
What is true and what is wrong
Let the people be free
To collectively and individually
Decide
Their present
Define their past
And set goals
For their future
What is then my contribution
To make a paradise of ideas
For achieving the goals
Whom I am addressing
Who is my audience
Where should I preach love
And who should lead every one towards the path

    The concept of 'power' is hard to define and has to be taken with care, because it can -and it's often the case- lead to a huge misunderstanding, a confusion with the concept of force ('brute power') and will to control... Your words are very true.
    The power of love, which you ask how to spread, has to be found in oneself. Can one really lead someone to it? ... At least your strong poet's words can lead to questioning...
    Very fine poem :)
