Inferiority

Part of speech: Noun

Definition: being lower in position, degree, rank, or merit

Source: Merriam-Webster

This word was found in the pose poem “Power” by Andrei Codrescu, in the first line.

“Power is an inferiority complex wound up like a clock by an inability to relax”.

By knowing the meaning of this word it made the message even more clear to me. The word is being used as a noun to describe what power is to him. How it is all in the mind andĀ  if given less thought doesnt even matter.
