Powerless Poem by Wesley Mincin

Powerless

Money is material,
a thing this man has much.
A king of business
A lord of wealth
A god among the men,
who envy his power.
The welfare of others rest in his hands
As a lord of wealth,
with the wave of his hand,
he can dismiss and change the lives of others.
But with such power,
the man is his own company.
As he sits by the window of his...
palace,
he wonders of a beauty money cannot buy.
He yearns for a feeling he can't order
He is forced to sit in his own company,
without the power to dismiss this isolation.
What is a king without a queen?
What is a lord without a lady?
What is a god without a goddess?
What is the value of life without love?
