Power

The human being has always had the need to create light
And light has always been synonymous with progress, inspiration

On a cold night, 7 thousand centuries ago
In northern Turkey, in today's geography
Full of excitement, after catching some insects
A Homo Erectus was chasing a firefly
Resting after two falls
The firefly landed between two flint stones
The firefly began to warm them up
To purify them and then to light them up
Close to the stones and very restless
The Homo Erectus decided to rub them
In the midst of the night mist and excitement
He gathered some vegetation close to him
Rubbed until he felt relief
First time a being produced fire
It was with fire in the fireplace
That Siddhartha Gautama meditated entire nights

Known as Buddha the Enlightened, he illuminated
Tried to save our abominated world
Said we had been struck down
By individualism that still dominates us
Plato was a student of Buddha
As Buddha said when you change, everything changes
He left mastery in the history of philosophy
Immense wisdom in the 'Allegory of the Cave'
With your back to the light, you will never have freedom
Your mind will always be dark and subordinate
Like the minds of the detractors of Copernicus
And of the Heliocentrism considered blasphemous
Knowledge without scientific basis
For Copernicus was academic excrement brutishness
The same said the Enlightenment thinker
Rousseau the humanist, and the reformist rebellion

Truth is the conquest even against the monarchy
Questioning the established even if it's heresy
Like Thomas Edison the inventor did
Always experimenting, testing and analyzing
Persistent, until discovering the filament
That allowed to globalize the incandescent lamp
Lamp that made Moscow luminous
Where Tolstoy dedicated his prose to the people
He said: When you practice philanthropy
And whenever you are inspiring you create light
The more light, the more attractiveness
People want to be close to luminosity
It's normal to want luxury and to want to get rich
But only when you have light do you have Power
Power to guide crowds and eliminate
Obscurantism with the art of illuminating

Give me more of you, give me more
Give me your heart, man, and your ideals
We are lost, no one leads us
You are our leader, you are our light

Give me more of you, give me more
Give me your heart, man, and your ideals
We are lost, no one leads us
You are the Sun, you are light!

Whenever you are magnanimous, whenever you are inspiring
You are producing Light
And people want to be close to the Light
So when you produce Light, you attract people
And the more altruistic, the more inspiring you are
More people want to be close to you
More people want to follow you
That is true Power, the Power of Light
Many people think money is power
But people who truly can influence
And guide others are the geniuses, the philanthropists, the creators of Light
And even when you die, your Light remains, your legacy remains
Like the Light of Buddha, the Light of Tolstoy
