Might

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 10, 2020 

Who’s to
say?
Who’s to
say
what is,
or,
what isn’t?
Who’s 
right about 
anything,
everything?
Who has
the answers
to all the
questions?
Who makes
the rules
 that all
must follow?
What makes
one’s opinion 
superior to 
another’s?
Who has 
the worlds
moral 
compass?
Wars are
fought
one against
another.
It’s said
might 
does not
make right!
That power
is not 
money
 the ultimate 
goal.
Why 
all the
wars then?
History’s
written 
by the
victors.
Might
does make
right!
Power is
money!
Humanities 
legacy.
