The Law of Unanchored Power

When liberation rises without wisdom,
It burns through what it touches,
Mistaking recklessness for freedom
And ruin for awakening.
When empowerment swells without humility,
It hardens into tyranny,
A crown forged from ego
Instead of grace.
When a soul forgets the Source that shaped it,
Its strength becomes distortion,
Its vision becomes hunger,
Its path becomes a shadow of its own making.
When will is severed from Divine guidance,
It spirals into its own illusion,
Believing itself sovereign
While drifting farther from truth.
When power is claimed without reverence,
It collapses under its own weight,
For every gift becomes a weapon
When it is wielded without light.
When a soul rises without listening,
It ascends into emptiness,
Mistaking isolation for mastery
And pride for purpose.
When liberation forgets wisdom,
It becomes destruction.
When empowerment forgets humility,
It becomes tyranny.
And when a soul forgets the Divine,
It forgets itself.
