Consciousness of Conscience

Inspired by Syed Wakil Ahmed

by Michaelw1two

 Blissful peace; verses instability, violence, and disorder,
 harmonious relations intervene, wicked minded interloper;
 world's jactation spreads, amidst deflexion by war's aper,
 segmentation of life hosts, exemplifies mind's distemper.

 Grant control, rein heart's pride, control vice's constraints,
 seek to follow mystery clear, don accoutrements of saints;
 grope no words in death's fervor, thirst of living queint,
 drink deep of past relations, in minds of men reacquaint.

 Feed fulfillments probable, dream vivid vision's expectation,
 shout in soul the glorious tune, salvation, life’s elation;
 emulate will of peace, reach higher for mental causation,
 trust in seed that breeds deeds, rekindle love's foundations.

 Sense in conduct moral thought, alter minds of wicked men,
 guide wayward souls to bold goals, as now a change begins;
 speech enthralls troubled hearts, ear words heard so bends,
 gatherings wide end madness' strife; pure light now descends.

 Aware in individual power, changes grant being's eternity,
 fully fight, in battles smite, modern fascist's amorality;
 peace is earned in generous sums, defeat for wars duopoly,
 relationship of mind and soul, bests corporate monopoly.

Aloha Linda... Thank you for your read and these close and personal comments... Political writes are a difficult effort... the abstract approach, I have used is the best way I can use to describe my feelings... you cannot be so direct and be able to post on most sites... please visit often... all of the best from this life, to you, and all of your relations... Michael.

I see what you mean. Words and phrases dialectically positioned and conjugated into an author's thoughtful meanderings. I do understand. Deep and profound work. Allan
