There is something powerful among us – something often overlooked

It can be few,

It can be many;

There is something powerful among us – something that conquers even time

Though its presence is fleeting, it remains forever;

There is something powerful among us – something that conquers even the mind

It hides within us and exposes our secrets,

It leaves an invisible yet permanent mark;

There is something powerful among us – something shallow and deep

Though it appears to fade away, it holds steadfast;

There is something powerful among us – something with a definite goal

Its influence extends globally,

Its influence targets locally; 

There is something powerful among us – something, called words.
