     Power by Edwina Matthews

     To some power is guns
     To some power is knifes
     To some power is the ability to read, and write.
     To some power is control
     To some power is a fist
     To some like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. power was words.
     To some power is like a trapped animal trying to get out of a cage.
     To some power is love
     To some power is art
     To some power is money
     To me power is knowledge
     So what is power to you?

These are just some of the things the poem says that we can get power from. In my opinion, the message of this poem is that we all have the power to change the world, we just have to find out where we can get our power from...
