Force Fails Poem by Tony Cemaluk Egbuonu

Force Fails

Rating: 5.0


Force never succeeds. It fails.
It mimics, mirrors, mocks, and mourns.

It holds no water on the soul,
but the soul of the feet of any kind
holds the hammer.

A whispering shriek —
small soul, small soul —
rises, rolls, and sweeps down
the mountain of fallen force.

The sentence is passed:
Force has failed.
