The Quiet Throne: A Poem on True Power

 "That’s not power. Power acts; it does not speak. Real power is the refusal to let the world corrupt your soul—it is the bravery to act from your most authentic self. What they chase is merely an illusion. The truly powerful hold power over themselves." - Shachem Lieuw

The Quiet Throne: A Poem on True Power 👑✨

In a world that screams for attention, we often mistake noise for authority. We think the loudest voice in the room holds the crown, but as I’ve learned through my journey in tech, entrepreneurship, and roaming the districts of Suriname, real power doesn't need to introduce itself.

It isn't found in a title or a bank account. It’s found in the mirror.

The Illusion and the Truth

They think it’s a roar, a thunderous sound, A name carved in stone, or a foot on the ground. They chase the shadow, the glitter, the gold, trading their peace for a story they’re told. But that is a ghost, a flicker, a trick— A flame with no heat, a hollow-wick.

For power acts, it does not speak. It is the silence the mighty seek. It isn't the force of a crushing hand, but the strength of a soul that chooses to stand.

Real power is keeping your spirit white when the world offers darkness to dim your light. It’s the bravery found in the breath you take, to stay authentic for your own soul’s sake. To move from the center, unbought and unbent, With a heart that is certain and truly content.

Let them chase the illusion, the pride, and the pelf— The truly powerful have power over themselves.

Reflections from Story Time 🎥

As I continue to build my "masterwork" and navigate the challenges of society, this is the philosophy I carry with me. Whether I’m in a boardroom or deep in the tropical jungles of Suriname, my goal is to remain uncorrupted and brave enough to be exactly who I am.
