What does power no good man would want and a power no bad man should have mean?

Exactly what it says. Imagine having the power to decide if a nation should go to war or not. You know that if you do, people will die. Parents will lose their children, children will lose their parents. Married people will lose their spouses. But if you don't go to war, maybe worse things will happen. A good person wouldn't like to be responsible for such a decision. A bad person on the other hand, might not care at all about how such a decision influences the lives of others.
