Poetry Series – Power Plays

I see you through that put on shit but I know it’s not my business so I don’t mind it..

But I assumed you’re blinded so I’ll point to it, sit back patiently, wait for you to find it..Β 

And if you don’t.. well.. who gives a shit. Not this bitch. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈβœŒοΈ

POWER PLAYS

If your “power”
requires or includes
fear, shame, hate, or division..
Your “power”
Is
Control
Is
Rooted in fear

If your “power”
Counts on others
Putting them down
Hatefully calling them out
Your “power”
Is
Weak
Projection reaaaal bleak

The only “power” worth embodying
Comes from the body and
Radiates outwards,
Magnetizes love
Internally focused,
Acknowledges one

The only “power” worth stepping in
Doesn’t smell of nasty shit,
Require the angry cracking of whip
Thats SMALL
By comparison
And if you surround yourself with THAT
Best be weary of your friends
Know yourself
Just a means to their end

Much love, until next time.
