The Force

Adding
peculiar
subtracting
never

laws 
of something
(besides physics)

has to
wants to
needs to
improve

velocity 
is present
and that very force
pushes 
the dead weight
forward
until
it can't sit still anymore

because
it has to

it's got to move
or else
it dies

Just like the Doobie Brothers sing "It Keeps You Running". One must constantly move and strive for the better. You have described it all well here.

Wonderful, simply wonderful! I just love the last three powerful lines! I really enjoyed this write Joey! To be pushed to the point when we must move is really the reason for poetry! I write because I have the urge, the desire, the need to write something poetic...it's the way to this Force, to write!! Always moving desire to write, I love the creativity that does come from this Force! Great write Joey! Excellent Work!!
