The Position of Power

The Position of Power

A Poem by Raven Starhawk

What atrocities must we endure in order to present truth behind lies?

Bewildered innocence staggers while freedom suffocates

And the proud stand tall amongst the corrupt

Once destiny surrenders to temptation…

…empty promises…

…deluded sentiments…

…luxury at poverty’s expense…

…time crawls toward the abyss
