Concentrated Power of Will

-Concentrated Power of Will-
by
Keaton Foster



I know
I see
I feel
I believe
I was born
I will die
Living life
Fractions of time
Crudely combined
Within our shared
Existence
I have much to do
Everything left
There can be
Nothing less
Then what I wish
It all
Every ounce
Every bit
Everything
Must be achieved
Not only because
Of my beliefs
But because of the beliefs
Of others just like me
Should all of you
Understand
Do you
Could you
Would you ever
The answer
Not required
Your quantifiable stance
Concerns me less and less
I won’t stop
I will only continue
But be assured
To reinsert your role
Live your life knowing that
My concentrated power of will
Is at times nearly nil
I must borrow from you
Stranger turned danger
What you have
What you posses
Is more than enough
To justify a continuance
Of what I so deeply love
I will only take
What I need from you
Without regret
Not an ounce in jest
I will use it well
Honoring your hell
Demystifying your spell
If this was a race
I’m gonna win
On the backs of others
Those who never began
I will fight each battle
Winning every war
Kicking ass and taking names
And if need planting a few graves
Conquering the world is my plan
Only then will I stand
Upon the mountain top
Knowing that those below
Have forced me to grow
Have allowed me to climb
To a height thought impossible
I will scream every name
I will praise each tedious detail
I will honor those unable to climb
My concentrated power of will
Will then be spilled
Down upon them
Down upon those who
That for a time unwillingly gave me
What I needed to have to get there
To place of time honored peace
And tranquil release
When I have had my fill
When I have had enough
I will step from the mountain top
Falling back down to the depths
From which I came
To which I truly belong
Leaving such a peak empty
For those just as close
To experience their own turn
At such equal footing…
