Force: A Spoken Word

Force: defined as mass times acceleration
It’s what brings you down to earth, what makes you so grounded.
What takes you from the stars but gives you the fruits of the trees
And the suns of the rising skies.

Force: defined as a metaphysical power that guides the most formidable. 
Only worthy of the strongest of adversaries, of enemies.
A path of life to walk, it is.
The most gifted, it is only for.

Force: defined as something that places you on earth
That lets you live here and is a gentle source.
That could take anything away from you
But it doesn’t because it is benevolent.

Force: defined as strength.
Strength to keep to your morals
Even when others try to push you
Down into the ground and eat crushed rocks and the decomposed of you loved ones.
And force: defined as pressure, you to
Sway under the mighty wave of your society, your environment
To do the things you do not want to do
And make you see things you don’t want to see.


Force: defined as something that moves you.
Something that can pick you up with the slightest of breeze
Brings your families together
But also tears them apart.
The warm air replaced with chills and picture frames
Creak under the force: defined as pressure, of the boot
As they force: defined as movement against your will, you from their arms
They force: defined as swaying of the mind against your will, you to hate them
So when you see family, they are no longer family.

Force: defined power that can move you.
Something that has the power to push us under
The weight of its underbelly crushing your bones.
Your skeleton cannot hold the force: defined as mass times acceleration equals weight,
And exerts force: defined as pressure, onto your breaking spirit.

Force:  defined as power, strength, the moral of man that will move you.
Will push you onto the ground and force: defined as an action against your will, you to obey.

Force: defined as an action against your will, your ancestors into gas chambers
Into crypts, in front of firing squads, murder 6 million of your people and 5 million more.

Force: defined as an action against your will, will drop a nuclear stone out of the sky
And poison the mist, poison  the flower, poison your neighbors, your loved ones.

Force: defined as an action against your will, will round you up, tear you from your home
Burn it to the ground, and when you come back,
The charred rooms, the blackened walls, the singed ovens,
Will force: defined as an action against your will, you to cry, weep, a tear rolling down the
Bridge of your nose and plant the seed of life into the ground.

Force: defined as violence used against people.
Defined as military power.
Defined as terroristic power.
Defined as power to be wielded against you. 

Force: defined as mass times acceleration
What brings you down to earth, what makes you so grounded.
What takes you from the stars and gives you the fruits of the trees
And the suns of the rising skies.

Force: defined as a metaphysical power that guides the most formidable. 
Only worthy of the strongest of adversaries, of enemies.
A path of life to walk, it is.
The most gifted, it is only for.


May the force be with you
