Controlling Water

by Dhrumil Parikh - Lester B. Pearson High School, Calgary AB Jun 4, 2010

The palms of his hands
Pointed towards;
Facing a pool of water,
Try to use telekinesis
To bring it under his control
And manipulate a lethal hold
On this natural element.

Every attempt
To bend this water
And the water beyond
One pool,
Fails every time
Regardless of Man's resiliency -
To succeed;
A sad fact he cannot understand
(Within the element itself that
He refuses to comprehend,
Believing that nature will be tamed
When the truth remains
That a cycle will repeat
Which will drown him once again).

He directs his palms to the pool of water
And tries to take control
(Once again).
