Give Him Power

Abraham Lincoln stated that "nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character; give him power." This means that if want to test a man you have give him power to see what kind of man he is. This quote is true because nearly all men have been tested time after time when given power. This can be clearly seen in the novel The Broker by John Grisham. As seen in this novel power given to many single men have been tested through their decisions they make, how they handled their situations, and through their actions.

I am Arthur Morgan


I am Arthur Morgan

I am anxious and unstable
I wonder what people see in me in this oval office
I hear my people aggravated with my decision
I see my reelection down in flames of despair
I want another chance
I am anxious and unstable

I pretend to be a great leader while I cowardly sit my office, wondering
I feel nothing can be changed by my decisions
I touch my desk depressed
I worry my family leaving
I cry for my future, my family's future
I am anxious and unstable

I understand my time now
I say lets go all out
I dream a better campaign
I try my best
I hope for a better path
I am anxious and unstable
