A Successful One and Done Message

I look out there  

With a curious stare 

An informative world conference experience  

Should be attended if serious  

No one can be seen  

What could it mean?  

Except for a gentlemen  

A message the individual wanted to send  

Holding a nation flag, notebook, and pen  

A voice he wanted to lend  

“I have a question 

If we are in recession? 

Have you heard of the triangle? 

An international tangle  

Displaying a thoughtful right angle 

Culture, education, and health care 

Are being challenged and dared   

Need protection  

Thoughtful interjection  

Important academic schools  

With lifelong skillful tools 

For once learned  

Decisions made are firm 

Finding the right track  

Not handled like a hack  

I took the inquiry to heart  

Swirling the Idea, I did start  

Peacefully inserted in my mind  

A concept I did not decline  

Today we are competing in games  

Warriors are athletic names  

Many view sports as culture  

Winning addiction turns someone into a vulture  

Accepting the call  

Try breaking down a destructive wall  

Blocking interaction  

Military might form a written retraction  

On letterhead  

This is better than counting the dead  

If participants are not on stage  

No matter the age  

A surgical mask is worn  

Due to health care virus that has torn  

Creating a battlefield scene displaying those in mourn  

Hopefully studying these two lessons  

Creating a socially accepted confession 

Commanding clean up the angry mess in  

After grading egotistical testing  

Minus violent arresting  

Funny no spectators in the seats  

Pondering the Olympic flame heat  

Just like my speech  

Where only one person I did reach  

Was that lone soldier enough?  

To release the peaceful white dove  

Flying above  

Filled with love  

Getting things straight  

‘We live in a world that should not encounter hate’ 

Remember only an audience that has one  

Can get the real job done  

Since the spoken word directly would be understood  

Masses not tinkering under the hood  

Engine conversation perfectly sounding purr  

Warming the ice-cold burr  

Leaving positive talk in the pot to stir 

Honestly defeating any army, endured
