If you had the power, would you use it?

To make your own life better.

To make the life of other people better.

Putting your dreams to reality like a great backbone.

Putting your hopes free upon the land.

It sounds great does it not?

***

But what about those you do not know?

Those out of immediate sight.

Those affected by unforseen consequences.

Also holding dreams that may conflict with your own.

Also hoping for a better future through growth.

What right could you have to work against them?

***

To what end would you use that power?

Just enough to avoid crossing the line.

Just enough to not stagnate your own growth that was supposed to compensate for the power.

I know better that you could not stop there.

I know it because that is human nature to choose the most comfortable path.

So, if you had the power, would you use it? In whose name?
