An Answer For All, Part 1

Take leave of this
Veneer of contented containment 
Go tell your thoughts
Delineate the shades of
Dusk and the dark 
Beneath the ashes sleep
Never renews this life 
Little lived over and
Out like a wick
Talk takes the teacher
Like a bishop 
To a castled king
Every dog has his 
Day to be dinner	
This cat brings change
In pockets and spades
To end topside under
Save for the hoarders  
Would never come clean	
Taken on winged whimsy 
Spirited by Whippoorwill whispers 
The embodied evanescent manifest	
Who will we be 
If not our past?			

My veto to open
Wounds which speak softly
Ask water for warmth
And be blue brother
This synergistic system swims 
The sun’s waves unaware	
Our staple star unsurpassed  
Suits in summer sweat	
Cares with shares shift 
Snow smarts the smile
Forget the global goal 
In green smoke screen 
Flower followers find bipeds 
Take form like frogs
Business positions the tenured
The problem of power 
Byproduct of professional profit
Please contact pink pig 
For your pension pending
Glycerin unit vesting schedule
Fabricated and economy dressed 
To eat your supper 
Triangulate solution in vibrations
Sew me sound anew
Blessed songs self orient 
Find joy in organization 
By collaborative competition clout
Comes together they think 
Through this conveyance compute 
Corporate costs of copy
The tiny minds till 
Their tares of cracked
Cash creates crossed functions 
Yeomen wish for work 
The biggest as best 
Cycle while you winter
Here until your dreams 
Tell you how to
Find rest in conflux
Cubed days make mockery
Of our false freedom
The office of night 
Abate anathema gluttonous worm
Is light like knowledge?		

Copulate nothing she says 
Keep a bed about
See the ritual repeated
Growing gives the go 
For rockets to assail 
The reign of secret silence
Push past these principalities
A planetary pull Possessing 
The answer for all 
Beggaring questions more able
As balloons held aloof
With room for rain	
Safety beneath a roof	
Bowing before promise paramount
