Had I known power can bite
I would have handled it with care
But it treated power with spite
Power told me it was unfair.
Had I known power can blind
I would have handled it with caution
But it treated power with no thought behind
Power told me to pay attention.
Had I known power can infect
I would have handled it with prudence
But it treated power with defect
Power told me to ditch arrogance.
Had I known power can corrupt
I would have handled it with respect
But it treated power for democracy to disrupt
Power told me to understand its acute aspect.
