Ethan Petersen - Power

Power
an illusion
that our lives
are our own

Power
reaching for it
grasping
but our hands stay cold

Power
what we need
to make things right
that are horribly wrong

Power
our lives own us
we are only
Power-less

Powerless to change them
Powerless to fix them
only given the Power
to live them -
or take them
