Power2

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Aug 24, 2021 

Power.
Crack
the door
open,
they’ll
kick it
right in!
Power,
control,
subtlety
of approach.
Come in
from below.
Infiltrate
unseen.
Injection,
directly in.
Unaware
they must
be less
plans go
awry.
Vicious
little creatures
scurrying
in the
dark.
Crimsoned
teeth.
Survive or
succumb.
Rules
of the
realm.
Power hungry
harpies.
Approaching
with stealth.
Take them
unaware.
Dispatching
silently,
victory
at hand.
Such is
the way
of things.
