Nothing frightens
a man firmly ensconced
in false power
more than a whisper.
Volume, shouting,
roaring,
these reside within his comfort zone
of conflict,
but a marvelous whisper,
connected to the unseen river of sound
where many whisperers are called to share
and collaborate,
these are the currents
through which the universe
oh so quietly
swallows the small world
of false power
which goes under
kicking and screaming.
