Wound of Absolute Power


Loveless Power























suffers in cruel sadism, 
while Powerless Love 
suffers in sanguine complicity.

And when the whole
of one's relational living
centers on the domination and control of others 

what remains that would serve to cultivate his compassion and humanity?


Such is the painfully segregated,
and solitarily confined existence 
within the wound of absolute power

be free from suffering 
and all the causes of suffering
