Consonant Like a Vow El
Consonant Like A Vow (el)
Now ma nada twirly (to early) twittering
condolences to the esprit de corps, qua
(just recently) late John McCain, and his
surviving family suddenly damning original
way word odd did see, whence (mere
moments ago) shore lee levee ming pondering...
(ma river rent stream
of consciousness weighs wise)
how to encapsulate, distill,
or cull poetically
evoking local or global
political and/or
other phenomena ayes
wanna heron, now tern
over every stone
(ill eagle or otherwise)
as a stool pigeon tattler personifies
(basically thee entire
planet) well nighs
with forthrightness do willingly,
seriously, and eagerly advise
those unsuspecting readers popularize
the convincible credible essence fortifies
bereft Trump Taj Mahal
tower of blatant lies
news outlet at (of him...D.K
Americans - ought via
auto-da-fé) ostracize
the mischievous, merciless,
and malodorous aggrandizer
in chief i.e. Trump, who,
undermines, tramples, and lowly hies
brazenly, deplorably and smugly
hugely belittles and belies
most every liberal
minded, Matthew Scott Harris
colluding against blatant
infringement on free speech,
fostering this rhyming grievance,
and upholding virtue
editorialist aye hypothesize
via stealthy sequestered infomercials
honestly (by trekking exercise
zing straightaway obvious,
where crew kid ness did rise
to urban jungles) advertise
(even those news gatherers
risking life and limb storied
public funded stations) as "FAKE"
worthy tidbits, eye
assess and apprise
my general tactic involves choosing,
when initially ferreting material
(invariably a nigh opening headline,
which screams and cries
bloody friggin murder),
whereat my coo wing
dove vine cognition tries
to tease out, even among
plethora of hawkish excell lent
power fully pointed graphic,
morbid, or repulsive atrocity
to frequent (ideally Hollywood
joyous ending) human interest
sordid themes, though
this chap admittedly viz blindsided
by gory infamous killings espies
topics that generate "buzzfeed,"
nonetheless salutary anonymous
good samaritan allies
all to quickly go bye byes
virtuous deeds thrive and rise,
to the occasion, sans
heart warming happenings
compete against overshadowing
violent crime, the latter spurring
(by Jeeves) all stops pulled
as printing presses
go into overdrive
anticipating record breaking buys
moost oft times occurring
within the outer term limits,
at the edge of night no lies
perpetrated by gals or guys,
(thus mine pet peeve against
mass communication),
focusing more so
about what premeditated
hideous ruse ill fate plies
an oblivious innocent victim
(such as how or why,
some innocent promising
young person, eco-system,
animal unfairly dies).
