Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.

Freedom is a Powerful Word
freedom is a powerful word
filled with glori and brightened eyes
freedom is a powerful word
where no black child is left behind
the despair of no hesitation
the depair of no education
freedom is a powerful word
freedom is a powerful word
where everyone gets a chance to be one
freedom is a powerful word
where a black man can raise his son
we got freedom
but we dont respect it
black boys droppin out of school
black girls gettin pregnant at early ages
these people fought for our rights
but all we do is abuse it
like i said freedom is a powerful word
are you sure we are free
why are we killing our own race
we are gettin involved in the wrong stuff
like gangs and selling drugs
smokin weed and makin d's
it aint right
freedom is a powerful word
if it is so powerful
dont abuse it

Powerful Thing
(written by al anderson and sharon vaughn)
Ive never seen two people in my life
More determined to ignore the obvious
We better stop thinking
Let our hearts start doing the talking
Youd have to be stone deaf dumb and blind
Not to see whats going on with us
So lets jump in
And get over our fear of fallin
cause what we got here
Is a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
We started out strangers on a two-way street
Neither one of us lookin to fall in love
But we dont need us a map
To know were headed in that direction
Well, its out of our hands
And over our heads
Its something thats bigger than both of us
Turnin back nows completely out of the question
cause what we got here
Is a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
Stronger than the force of a driving wind
Hotter than a forest fire
There never has been and there never will be
Nothing like the power of you and me, yeah
Its a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing

The Powerful Woman
The powerful woman does not raise her voice
She does not tell you what to do
She does not ask you for favors
She weeds her own garden
She tends to her chores
She listens to your woes
She shows you how to make jello
She tenderly prunes the tomato plant
The powerful woman moans when her own child dies
But she goes on, tending to her chores
The powerful woman lends shelter
Whether it be a bird with broken wing
Or a young man lost
The powerful woman has no face
She has no name anyone has heard before
The is an image, a memory, a shining light
Glowing through a stained glass window.

Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends. This is why most appeals against violent means usually fall on deaf ears.

Indeed it can be argued that to make a powerful film you must care about the subject, therefore powerful films tend to be both political and partisan in nature.

We know how powerful our mother was when we were little, but is our wife that powerful to us now? Must we relive our great deed of escape from Mama with every other woman in our life?

OPIUM (perfume)
This page on which I sketch my words
will hold the scent of me.
The powerful aroma of Opium
is my personal identity.
It seems to be the only perfume
that to me is allergy-free.
I've worn it now for many years.
I probably always will,
just a dab behind my ears
and never over-kill.
It seems to be my single vice
and is like a magic pill.
For it makes me feel so good.

Power doesn't have to be on such a big scale for powerful things to occur. Within your own home, you can be a powerful woman as a mother, influencing your children's lives.

And more to yield
You did excel in every field
You had many trophies and shields
You did more and more to yield
Good place and reputation to build
You were very close to nature
I saw in you secured future
You showed me rainbow color
I have all reason to admire and adore
You offered me symbolic gesture
A rose to start with for surety to assure
I zoomed in your powerful hand
You were such a nice and natural friend
Nature too hinted me for very good spring
Cuckoo in garden sprang a surprise to sing
There was no need to offer ceremony for ring
I was flying high with powerful wings
Would we stay in same forever?
I wish you will try for it as permanent bond however
There existed no doubt this before
I am willing to go for it therefore
You make me to breathe fresh air
Let cool breeze blow and raise the hair
I shall hear no sound in the ears
I am natural bird and have absolutely no fears
I am blowing hot and cold
You were assertive and very bold
You whispered gently in ears and told
Grab me forcefully and firmly hold
I had almost everything to accept
Tears rushed in the eyes and I almost wept
I had found heaven in his bold move
He had thrown all cards for me to prove
I fainted for while and thought of an autumn
Spring may go off and it will follow in column
What was I to do to counter the fall out?
I brushed the idea as there was nothing to think about

Sappho
Let Phaon set his ship to sea
and fare away for ever more,
since he could your words ignore
and couldn’t find any love
for you waving on Levkás shore.
A beautiful girl flies
from a steep rock
into the blue, the deep
into the powerful sea
never more to be.
Still your words ring
true and perfect in my ears,
although it has been
thousands of years that you are gone.

Dream always
It is nice to dream always
When nothing can be found on the way
Last hope is also about recede
Defeat certain and gain to accede
It is good to be like birds
Possible in fairies tales and often heard
We have powerful wings in the form wish
That can fulfill the dream or finish
You ask any ugly human beings
They will want to be powerful kings
As wish has got fancy and wings
Sweet music in ears always rings
Though diamond is very rough
It has got value more and enough
I would love to be called “forever”
As it has come to stay here
Who would not want to be a cuckoo?
Early music to be heard and pass through
Why I be not become early riser?
To show the world about being very wiser
All qualities I have but feet not firmly placed
Ground is shaky and can not be replaced
I have to be here for rest of period
Unnecessary dreams to be kept away must avoid
Love to live with reality
Dream and think as per your ability
Only wishes can not make life beautiful
Life is meant for and to be useful
