A Meandering Cocophony of Thought That Evades Fate

A Meandering Cocophony of Thought that Evades Fate Contractual obligations toward your future self Non-Factual invocations that deprive you of your health Actual comparisons between poverty and wealth Emmanuel on the eve of a heavenly operation of stealth Bellowing antiquities of integrated life forms moving Fellow things that have consummated the notions that you are grooving Yellowing age old invigorated sojourns that need viewing Mellowing contrasts of time fade as you continue your fuming Another tyrrade of dissident rhetorical discourse The will to invade your neighbouring country without remorse The shrill parade of a fleet of naval ships veering off course While the retrograde of your emotions bring with it the inclination for recourse Elemental tides upon the ebbing flow of time cascading Influential vibes of a man who is simply fascinating Consequential sides of an oath that needs constant consecrating Coincidental rides through space that are perpetually oscillating Pertinent notions of intricacy simply being Salient devotions of intimacy focused only on what I’m seeing Relevant promotions of illiteracy that prevent the poor from dreaming Prevalent crimes as the UFO’s light up their beaming Fortuitous events that predict your next steps to be taken Gratuitous contempt for those who seem visibly to be shaken Circuitous lament for those left behind when we awaken Virtuitous intent in the way a concept becomes mistaken A distinct glimmer of light shining in the corner of an old man’s eye The instinct to stand and fight when we are forced not to run and hide A precinct that needs respite as it’s over run with constant crime To rethink your inclinations for delight when you seek to redefine Consequential limitations for what we hold dear and true Environmental visitations that require us to invent so much anew Influential imitations of a certain point of view Monumental inclinations of what it means to just be you The innocence of those children hiding from a threat The emergence of a building architecturally complex The convergence of one who is willing not to remain too vexed The insurgence of the giving, invoking one who has been hexed I don’t presume to understand or comprehend or to conspire If I exhume upon the land before my soul comes to retire I shall resume the awe I hold for the grand illusions from a fire As the plumes of smoke rise from the stand I take to extricate myself from this quagmire

Fantastic poetry my friend . My favorite stanza. "" Another tyrrade of dissident rhetorical discourse The will to invade your neighbouring country without remorse The shrill parade of a fleet of naval ships veering off course While the retrograde of your emotions bring with it the inclination for recourse ."" A fav for me, as this is a true gem. God bles.

Plenty of room for a fellow astronaut of imagery and verse. Chances of reaching destination are slim, but it’s about the process of the journey isn’t it? So glad to have you on board Tom!! ??
