Power
P K Routray

Muscle power, money power, power of the brain,
man power, power of the chair and power of the pen,
power of oratory, power of physical grace and beauty
lure a man to try to acquire them with all their mighty.
But the scriptures widely differ
to accept them as the real power.
Instead they recognize the power to judge the power to discriminate,
the power to adopt, the power to face and the power to tolerate,
the power to withdraw, power to pack up and power to cooperate,
as the real power, which the mundane man in a life should aim at.
