I liked how you played with the rhyme scheme here and blended it between the stanzas.

Contextually, I fear we are missing an important opportunity in our present time. While some may hope that recent events would shed light the ills of consolidated power, it seems that we can't help but to react in a way that would have us consolidating power even further to protect us from too much consolidated power. Anyway, nice poem. meekly stepping down from soap box
