Answer:
There is great power in reason
It comes like so much rain
Or like strong wind in a dry month
My father was bent
by work
his shoulders were bend
by words
in a contract
he never understood
While I was still
a young man
he send me off
to school
and bid me walk
with straight shoulders
Learn, he said
learn words
that you may pry off
these letters
that have made me
old and bent
