My Lion King Forum

Nothing special, just a random thing I started writing, and it turned into this =D. Nonetheless, thought I would post it since it is now here but if it actually makes anyone feel inspired as intended, I will eat my proverbial hat. Enjoy =)

...............................

Power makes a mockery of the maneslit of men
To desire it is to yearn for absolute destruction and mayhem
To be treated to it is the ultimate testament to realisation
They say even the strongest of powers will not help one to lead a nation

But now as you read this, hang your dreams by a simple rope
Watch the materialistic desires as they fall into oblivion and burn
You continue your quest for power for as long as the road may twist & turn
But I believe we were born with it, that power often referred to as hope

Hope shines through in the darkest of times
Like that explosion in the sky
On that warm night of July
The hope in the eyes of a poor man begging you to spare a dime

To bring to a close, is to begin anew
And kiss your desire goodbye, farewell and adieu
For that power has already been found
It lies within me and you, and to our spirits it is bound.

I love it! Very inspirational do you have a name for it? I would call it Hope is power if I were you but I bet you can think of a better one. Great job Flip

XD Truth be told I do not have a name for it, I just wanted to write something, themed around power and greed, and then I thought I hadn't wrote a poem on here for a good while, and it turned into that =D. And thanks for the wonderful comment.
