Attending Conventions
Deranged conventions apathy's consent,
the meeting place, contingent on the rent,
my searching's format needs no such invent
what crucial judgment surfaces intent?
This screening of concern, ne'er by relent,
my trials winding grossly follow meant.
Attending as a witness, I am bent
and yet the justice ~ solar detriment!
I can't but focus on this implement
without attendance, and yet not extent,
the numbers pushing blind my own intent,
a voice is muffled, I am lastly spent!
But give me reason to extol advent,
I must be heard to forward sentiment.
A writer joins the soul to compliment
some virtue of each issue ~
. . . . . . printed, sent!
