Material Doesn't Mean Power


Power 

It isn't held within those who can afford it 

Power 

Is being the one to stand up when no one else does

Power 

Isn't who wears the nicest clothes

Power 

Is donating clothes to those who need it more

Power 

Isn't something you can buy 

Power 

Is held by those who do good things, all the time, for no reason at all
