Do You Have Power?


DO YOU HAVE POWER?
The word power is ambiguous and mystifying
Power is interrelated and measurable
The word power is vague and ambivalent
Everybody is believed to have some form of power
Nations and societies are said to have their own powers

The use of power depends on circumstances
Power can be used positively or negatively
The president as the commander-in-chief
has power to declare war and federal emergency
The congress has power to enact laws

The bank has power to grant or deny you a
loan to improve your status in life
The editor has power to decide what gets
published in a book, dailies, or journals
Armed forces have power to defend the nation
Police have power to arrest and detain crooks

Medical doctors have power to heal the sick
Many of us have power to make a beggar smile
Voters have power to elect their representatives  
for both the lower house and the senate
Employers have power to enrich and enhance
the lives and positions of their employees

Teachers have power to educate our mind
Husbands have power to please their wives
and keep their children happy and contented
As power cannot be used or exercised in isolation
we should realize that we are all citizens of this world
We owe it to our children to use our powers positively
to help make this world a better and friendly place
So that we can create a just and compassionate society
