The Threads of Power
- Poem & Illustrated by : Amanda Ø. Worum
A life without art and design is a life without soul a cold, lifeless existence
We created to survive created for pleasure giving life to what excited us
Life cannot exist without creation The quiet strings in history that we so unknowingly rest on the foundation of our identity
We are fused with it we live in it wear it use it see it everywhere even in ourselves
A power that drives us shapes us lifting, healing inspiring
But it can deprive twist the mind make people march for the man on the top make nations dream the same dream believing it is their own
For a long time powerful people used this force to shape worlds paths for others to follow
They try to control it but this power always offers more than one pathsinging its own melody because it`s more than a decoration
It tears and opposes molds and creates
We create the creations and they shape us
We stand as shadows in our own design losing control as it weaves us into it like a spider’s web
So we decide be the spider pulling the strings creating
Or be the fly stuck with the consequences
