You, Sledgehammer Lance Nizami You concentrate It does not break You rise and pace And still it does not break You sit and stare and stare and stare again It does not break; you break, and walk – You let it go, and, strolling, find some other nut to crack You find some niggling, smaller issue buried far inside your mind But soon your mind’s drawn back again, to wrestle the opponent – You’ll struggle fresh against yourself, to break the narrow box you think inside – You’ll shatter walls That proof will break.
