Two sides of life

Does power and authority

Lend itself to corruption,

It seems that it leads people

Into a sense of soul destruction,

It brings out predatory instincts

And forms of perversion,

That’s why when looking at authority

I have a strong aversion,

And so I seek to follow my own path

Discovering honesty and truth,

That promotes love and caring

I have always been drawn to those

Who believes in always sharing,

That is rooted in what is right and good

And that grows the heart and soul,

Because fostering this lifestyle choice

Is the only way we can hope to evolve.

    The juxtaposition of power leading us somewhere and the author defying the leader taking its own path is portrayed beautifully. Great piece.

  2. Beautiful! Yes. They say many in authority/leadership roles are either psychopaths or narcissists. Always best to stay true to our paths. 💙
