Equivalence

The sum of matter, ne'er be so
that justifies intent ~
the here say polling - to let go
the paying of the rent!

It is the fineness - character
that itemizes ~ spent
and what is left, the battles toll
what nurturance is cleft!

No standing for the rig-a-ma-row
not standing the nonsense
the straight-a-way, insurgent's knoll
affords that last consent!

To change the process, called take more
while hiding, small and bent
equivalence is mercies store
producing . . . . hope's advent!
