*force Fails Poem by Tony Cemaluk Egbuonu

*force Fails

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.
