Poems old and new

The Force

The Force


Strong will propels
The best in us.
Depression, it dispels
leads us to success.

It’s the force
That changes
Desert waste
To fruitful taste.

A power that blows
Slavery to smithereens
An antidote that cures
Destructive laziness.

It is a light that shows
A way out of ignorance
A fountain that showers
The gift of success.

Heights of glory
Vistas of joy
Pinnacles of fame
Cisterns of peace-
Man’s landmarks
And achievements-

Are linked
Closely to
Determination.
