Power of authority
Power of authority
To the power that is bestowed upon us,
forgo fear as questions may be asked of you
As power gives no absolution
Guilt creeps in through the holes,
setting up residence as a resolute companion
Until judgement too comes to knock
For the answer may not be yours to hold
springing from the seemingly unlikely
Hold tight to the power to empathize
May reciprocal respect be the answer for a new day
as corruption may lay in ruins to mark past dues
Truth will never be clear in the arrogance that is assumption
Handle with care a focus to heal all that are broken
Passing by pains fondness to blind us all
As a healing hand reaches out for restorative justice
So that no more silent victims may weep
