White and Black
I am the white knight, yet never so brave. I would never run around on a horse and rescue fair maidens. I could never even lift a sword let alone swing it at dragon heads. Nor am I hansom enough to be able to win a ladies heart form her cruel keeper. I am a frog compared to a white wizard. So powerless and plane. I could never save a village let lone my self. I am the black king but I have no power to be corrupted with. I have no subjects to command or make bow down to me. I would never be so cruel. Or ever so clever to take power. Nor am I the dark lord, the mass killer wishing to purify classes. I could never be able to take a life, I even squabble at taking my own. With the dark lord is the ambition of living forever which I would hide from, for one life of normal amount of time is too much. No, I am none of these powerful symbol that are seen everyday. Nothing is as clean or smooth in the real world. Bad people don't turn good after seeing children, people lie to become more powerful. In this world we are pushed and pushed, we want to become known, we want to be seen in this huge world. Disney's song of It's a Small World After All no longer applies. True you see some people that you know or can relate to ever once in a while but not too often. Other images of our time is that you can do anything if you put your self to it, but no you can't. You need power, money to even make people listen to you, to hear you. We just don't have that all we have are ideas, some good, most bad.

Well said, but each one of us has power. Everyone act we make changes the world in some way or another. There are people that will listen to you without the financial transactions. -I will, your friends will. The world is not all bad.
