Bad Discussions (Not a nice poem) By the pound what a sound, in morbid delay at death's door. Cutting off bits and chunks of souls, too busy to be made whole. Now withered on the blocks, slaves to the lochs... where things beneath the water, must eat and cheat death, for a day and a night, and... a day. Sold withered youth, a new battalion of the young, under the rule of an order, that echoes a foreign land. A disaster of repeat potential, the death of millions, a blemish on the necktie; of our history. The hanging tree, will readily accept all that sign on, and replace all that will not, with chance passers-by. They will be fed. The rest... will be dead.

The lochs are not lakes... more like... a reference to morlochs... time machine. With refrences to eating our dogs... like Venezuela... so it is mixed media... :) and sadly maybe some thoughts about the changes to the Boyscouts and for good measure... maybe a bit of revelations..? having way too much going on to night.

I really liked reading your poem. I love the tapestry of our country and acknowledge every sibling of the rainbow. The West's contribution to faith and civilization, flaws and all. The Blacks that built the foundation, and the Chinese that buit the railroads. The business people who invest and those who dare to explore. We're all supposed to be here, together, and talk. Talk of acceptance, even acceptance of past sin. And even a cold-blooded snake has enough self-love to shed it's past skin.
