power creates psychosis.
before power we are children cringing
before psychotic power. before power.
do we know anything before power
children become old under power.
children become monsters of power.
everyone becomes a child again 
facing authority, even the authors of power,
children of a lesser god, power, power 
that only expresses itself in the act
of power, the hurtful force. 
but the child untouched by power
within us says we will not obey.
