If any sink, assure that this, now standing
A poem by Emily Dickinson
If any sink, assure that this, now standing—
Failed like Themselves—and conscious that it rose—
Grew by the Fact, and not the Understanding
How Weakness passed—or Force—arose—
Tell that the Worst, is easy in a Moment—
Dread, but the Whizzing, before the Ball—
When the Ball enters, enters Silence—
Dying—annuls the power to kill.

The composition and color scheme is methodically chosen as always which makes this a perfect piece for any gallery. 
Btw, you threw a Dickenson poem in there!

I like how the symbol of "Powerful" is wearing a jester's hat. It seems like the world we live in will always award the entertainers power. Look at the sickness spreading in the u.s.! Our public would rather read about a pop singer's court hearing then the person who has you looking to the right while he bombs the left. Very nice work.
