Polarities

Power absolute — dictator, tyrant,

No balance there

No check on their abuse;

Torture, murder, and destruction

Outside of humane law.

Their evil is unbound.

Helplessness in tyrant’s power,

Silence, enslavement of the soul,

Yet even in the abyss

A few find courage to oppose;

They gain strength in unity,

Have power of their own.
