TWE - Power | Gather

Power

The power of one

Is increased exponentially

By the addition

Of more money

Power can be a duo

Or a boss

Or a jury

Or a posse

Power can be soft

Or loud

Done by whisper

Or by blood

Power can build a nation

Or tear one down

A perfect example

Is the big apple town

Power can be wrong

Or right or left

It is alive

but also bereft

Power attracts

Be aware

It might not cure

It can be a snare

Power surrounds us

For good and bad

We can have it

Or by it be had

This was great. I am a Mormon and the first Sunday of each month we have a fast and testimony meeting. We fast for 2 meals and donate the money to the needy. We have the opportunity to share our testimony.

I stood and gave my testimony on "The POWER of the Priesthood". It seems strange that your post reminded me of that "power" again. :)

Great job

Connie, thanks for your comments, sharing, tweeting and recommend. I had a lot of strong feelings while writing this and love the fact that everyone interprets it their own way. I'm glad it reminded you of something as powerful as the priesthood!
