A Powerful Force

It flickers in a still breeze.

It's deafens with silent screams.

It sees past what your heart wants to see.

It burns the dark cold.

It makes the meek bold.

It smothers with no hold.

It controls what can't be controlled.

It crushes your space in time.

It drowns you in the desert dry.

Leaves your soul as helpless as helpless can be.

It stays where it wants to be.

You can't contain it.

You can't restrain it.

It will over power your mind and your will.

It will kill you as sure as any bullet will.

You will surrender to it unconditionally.

You will crawl for it on your knees.

You will die for it. For it you will kill.

It will own and control your will....
