*Image of Education by UY. A Cog in The Machine Life advances their kind of entrusting stays, origin of roots possessing foundation, flung to care sprouts variable promises, ~~executes each seed. The great void advents the id of emptiness; launched needs, yet farfetched and demanding the task, contending the fathom fact of dimensions, ~~inception account. Countless bearings operate the mechanism, instants cognitive effortless life makers, quintessential beats absence into the void, ~~marked units of time. Simplistic explanative of a machine, the inner workings of every component, jointly toiling as a singularity, ~~a fitting duty. A pristine canvas lengthens on a tripod, while a sable paintbrush jabs an empty point, visionist Seurat and Signac rethink art, ~~Pointillist purview. A concert hall seasons an orchestra pit, woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings, keyboards, chorale, symphonic blends as a meek piccolo peal, ~~a highest-pitched tune. The world is our stage where we fulfill our roles, all taking part in a scene that is rehearsed, a constant performance since opening night, ~~functioning beings. Inconsequential entity's conjuring queries who's who, what's what drives absoluteness, amassed strays, exacts focus o'er all, for I ... ~~... am the unique one. 2022 May 17 *1st Place* Pick-A-Title, Vol 30 ~~Edward Ibeh: Judged 2022 May 29 *Title #3 HMS; 11,11,11,5 syllables x 32 lines = 8 sapphic stanzas

I’ve come to understand that some perceive poetry forms trump free expressions. Their creators had expressed themselves freely at the time of its inception prior to being a form, whereto, I hope to honor their efforts. Appreciated my friend, Aloha~William
