Show of Power

dog wags its tail and smiles elephant shakes its ears rat shakes its whiskers lion waves its claws tree shakes its branches man clenches his fists snake switches its fangs soldier shakes his gun flood breaks and rolls rocks Who of these is powerful enough to make the sun to rise from West tomorrow and set in the East each day?

Your wonderful poem reminded of Danny Glover's lines in 'Grand Canyon' when he says to his friend: "those rocks are laughing at me, I could tell. Me and my worries . . . I felt like a gnat that lands on the ass of a cow that's chewing its cud next to the road that you ride by on at 70 miles an hour." Amitiés
