Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t. ~ Margaret Thatcher

Power I seek fails miserably,
makes me unhappy even if I should reach
the intended mark. Power bestowed on me
by others, which comes through a power
greater than me, can be a blessing to all.
Statesmen and politicians share little
other than titles. It’s true, though,
at levels far short of international status.
When I’m in charge, pride ascends.
When I’m the tool, blessings mount.
