Untapped power

Joy Dell

Me, helpless? Trapped? Frustrated? Well, my friend,
I'm not so weak that I can't make a move.
Dominion's mine, and discord's not the end,
For all the good God gives is here to prove.
I have the power to see you as God must—
Reflection is the key (reflecting Mind).
I have the power to see beyond earth's dust
(Injustice, selfishness) and put behind
Me all those lies, the masks not really you.
And, oh, this power is such that I could shout
Or sing or beat it out as drummers do
To tell the world what you are all about!

You're every grand thought I could tell them of;
God gives all power: it is the power to love.
