Like gravity or time,
Domination is a force of nature,
A state of mind that crawls in insidiously at first,
It is a kind of madness,
Corrupting the souls of powerful men,
Leading them to utilise that will against lesser souls,
They become cold tyrants,
All meat hooks and whips,
Little Kaisers commanding grey legions,
Dominating the masses with the force of steel,
Turning neighbours into archenemies,
Fear of the ball gag and boots heel,
The desire to impose ones will,
It is a plague with no cure,
To which even the virtuous hold vulnerability,
It is a fact of life,
As long as two souls remain on Earth,
Somebody will wish to dominate another.

Yes, so true that power trips up the mind, into wanting more of it self. You are right that it can afflict even the virtuous. Well penned and an excellent reminder/warning to the wise, my friend.
Oh yes, absolute power corrupts absolutely as they say. It can even mess up the best of intentions. Thank you kindly my friend!
