What do you think this poem is about?

Irony of power

All shall pass through the balcony of power
Cradle to adulthood experience the harmony in power
At a stage exposed to monopoly of power
There comes the reality of power

Abruptly it goes and shall become hopeless
Unwillingly thou shall become powerless
Joints of the dreamers become motionless
Bewildered they become useless

Could it be the law of nature that: all men are powerful,
powerless, hopeless and useless?
