The Force Of Gravity



The battle against the force of gravity is an exercise in futility,
A win is temporary or is a fluke,
Opinionated people have constantly hit against the brick wall,
Highly intelligent boffins have designed instruments of high precision,
In the quest to defeat the force of gravity to no avail,
The battle against the force of gravity is an exercise in futility,

Nobody is able to suspend or sustain logic in the air,
Ask Louis Armstrong and a succession of others, who built a nest in the moon,
They all had to come down to mother earth for nature says they do not belong there,
They can refuse but can they win against the force of nature?
Life is not made for winning all the time,
Teams have won and lost battles, won many battles and eventually loose,
Except for the force of gravity which is made to win all the time,
Thus, the battle against the force of gravity is an exercise in futility,

A winning streak induces a delusionary believe for things to stay the same,
With the force of gravity everything human invention is laid bare,
A succession of technological inventions are meant to bulldoze or dribble passed the force of gravity
Not realising the force of gravity is a ubiquitous edifice, it cannot be escaped,
The battle against the force of gravity is an exercise in futility,

Intellectuality of the highest level comprehend the naturality of the force of gravity,
That everything is meant to kiss Mother nature at some stage for sure,
Everything is tied to Mother earth with an umbilical cord,
Whereby, the force of gravity is the shepherd,
All the cows, sheep and goats, have gone astray,
The trusted shepherd will bring them to Mother earth no matter at whatever time,
Many trials have become successful to a measure of deceit,
The force of gravity, an albatross to all human inventions,
The Wall of Shame has stood the test of time but not in tandem with the force of gravity,
The Great Wall of China has stood the test of time but not in tandem with the force of gravity,
Louise Armstrong and a succession of others, Astrologers of note,
Have not and are not winning the race,
Mother nature is calling the shorts, the offspring, force of gravity,
Never will nor ever disobey,

Like an errant child when called upon by the mother, it does not come running,
Like a prodigal son, it eventually comes to Mother earth,
The prodigal son has become estranged to friends,
Mother earth is the point of origin and reason,
Not the prodigal son, who is the point of illogical reasoning,

When the rains and storms of Tsunami's proportions have wreaked havoc,
The will to survive remains still,
Like the force of gravity, unshaken and true,
Therefore, no need for raging wars to no end,
The will to survive has remained unscathed Alfa and Omega,

Fore-knowledge about the invincibility of the force of gravity,
Has called for the abandonment of a multitude of battles,
No matter the attraction of the challenge,
That is when cowardice is called wisdom!
