The document analyzes and summarizes a poem about the nature of power and how it can corrupt. It discusses how the poem depicts the hawk, a powerful predator, as a representation of how those with power feel they can do as they wish without concern for others. The analysis suggests the poem illustrates how having power can make one arrogant and blinded to their own flaws, believing they are always right and can control life and death over their prey. Power remains unchanged from birth and nothing can overcome the superior position it gives one in the world.
