"Power" is excerpted from a coyrighted but unpublhed book of poetry entitled "Persecuted Poet" written by Vernelle Edwards.
Power
the one who loves the most
has the least power
she lives for the hour
when her lover returns
her very being yearns
for him
he fills her up
the more she gives
the more he takes
no wedding cake
one day love yields
and is replaced by steel
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
