The Struggle for Power & the Fight for Survival

Throughout man's history we have always found methods to survive any event that comes our way, the same can also be seen in the animal kingdom. When we censor our right to survive, we censor what makes us who we are and the strength we've been given by nature. On the other hand power can be used in both healthy and destructive ways. The problem with religion is that it imposed dogma, speculative delusions, fundamentalism etc., that's it can be a hindering to man's progress, if religion claims to have authority where it has none. I'm using poetry as the language to describe this human experience because I want to get my point across about religious fanaticism, but also concerns about dictatorships in Africa, immigration, addiction and crime. Survival methods may differ from one person to another, it's what we do with it that makes the difference for better or worse.
