Majestic power and beauty
narcissism at its best
the river flows down
not having time to rest
Carving out canyons
power over all it surrounds
colorful valleys and gorges
continuous shaping abound
Powering towns with energy
from mighty falls
in the form of electricity
never taking it all
Destruction comes
when the river leaves its banks
levees powerless to stop the water
run over like a tank
Such power
hard to be managed
narcissistic in its beauty
can cause such damage
Beautiful river
observing with awe
a living entity
following nature's law
