Power, something so many people crave

But at what expense?

Although it gives the freedom to choose,

With a propensity for abuse and corruption

How worth it is it?

It can be hoarded by the mighty

Or stolen from the innocent

Turning pacifists into militants

And freedom fighters into tyrants

Causing good intentions to turn to crisis

Leaving many unfortunate souls lifeless

Because the ones who have it indulge in their vices

I’ll ask again

How worth it is it?
