Power

You with your need to be in control

What power did you gain?

You with your unusual sense of entitlement

What power did you gain?

You felt that my dehumanization

Was the key to your domination

You used your uncanny power of deception

To bring about my destruction

And yet what power did you gain?

We are in recovery and soon we will rise

To use your tools against you

And bring about your demise

My identity is mine

My history is mine

My power never left

It only waits in the wings

For you my good man, to bring you to your knees.

Hola! Back again with something short.

This was actually an assignment my professor made my class do sometime last year. We were given ten words to use in some type of written piece. The topic was using the master's tools to dismantle the master's house. We had to identify what tools the "masters" left the colonized, in any part of the world and if they could use it to rise against them, if they haven't already.

Can you guess the ten words👀?

What tools did the "masters" leave, if any?

Do you think they can be used against them?

Leave some thoughts and see you in the next one💖
