A Poem by stuart harley
"

his is the Fourth part of my 10 part ? series. For any that need a refresh on this series, it will lead up to a new youtube project which will reveal the character all of these poems are written by.

"
Too much power?
Too many days i've travelled in darkness,
I've travelled far and wide to avoid it,
I've even travelled far and wide to seek it.
I haver seen wonders the likes of which you have never seen,
Horrors you could never dream of.
I've seen death, oh so much death.
I can not say that I have not brought death,
I can not say that I have not caused death,
But only to do what I must,
only in the name of saving those that needed saving.
Now I fear i've gone too far,
power has its crutches to bear,
I've had too much power for too long,
No-one to answer to but me.
Anything is possible when no-one sets your limits,
when their is no-one left to set them,
that's why I should never be alone,
too much power and my own ambition.
You see I admit i'm flawed, fatally so.
I don't want power, but at times I cant help it.
Why should I?
I have so much power,
I could change it all, everything,
I could save those I love,
I don't need to stand and watch,
as worlds burn, and everything dies,
I could stop every black day,
bring back those I've lost
and there has been so many.
I could do so much more, so much more.
Then I have my rules,
the one rule,
Never use my power to control fate,
what must happen must come to pass,
save my legacy be forever tainted.
But I can still wish,
I can still hope.

Your second clue: I have appeared on both british and american tv, and recently too. part 5 will be uploaded in two days with another clue.
