Power Play


It seems Self-evident. Subtle. An inspiration to allegiances and devotions. Raw. Affecting your very existence. At the heart of the human drama. To struggle and seize Tangible assets Through attraction rather than coercion. "A psychological relation between those who exercise it and those over whom it is exercised." Words empirically verified, Vulnerable nonetheless. Relative, not absolute. At anytime a battle is Raging; Fraught with obstacles. The arrogant Self-absorbed Self-indulgent Contemptuous Terror. The sheer destructive power. But one must not back down Or defy and mock it. The balance Comes back into vogue With minimum damage To itself.
