“That’s not how the Force works.” – Han Solo

 

You can’t make the Force

Serve your own whim,

Follow your lead,

Or

Do your bidding;

It will make your head swim.

That’s not how the Force works.

 

 

Taking great power

To build up yourself

Is something very selfish,

So “Sithful”,

And

Hoarded up strength

On a shelf.

That’s not how the Force works.

 

 

Flying a banner

Blazoned with your name,

For a cause,

Or a duty

But,

Dying a martyr

In a roaring flame.

That’s not how the Force works.

 

 

Using this strength

To use others

Who trust you,

And

Make them afraid,

Instead of building

Their faith,

Or their good virtue.

That’s not how the Force works.

 

 

 

Going forth

Without prayer

And preparation

But,

Trusting your own

Determination,

Results in a empty religion

 

And lots of frustration,

Stops and hesitation,

Loads of unneeded stress

And perspiration,

Knots of forced work

But…

That’s not how the Force works.
