(4th September 1949 / Hounslow. Middx)

What do you think this poem is about?

Power

There is a power in taking
But more power in giving
There is a power in revenge
But more power in forgiving
There is a power in destroying
But more power in letting something live
There is a power in denying our true age
But more power in showing that we've lived.
