Just That Archaic Poet Poet Rhyme

Only God Knows and Time Will Tell

Must I uphold my Prime Directive, 
Conjecture of pressure- 
The correct Direction? 
And would my Mind pass inspection; 
Is my Fate my own Objective? 
Catharsis of Change is introspective- 
Highly reflective- a brain detective! 
For Change I must as Darwin said- 
Do what's Right, not Wrong instead. 
But I am a leopard and social Leper; 
Lazy sloth and sullen Schlepper. 
Pariah inspired branding of "LIAR!"- 
A broken, bawling Beggar... 

*Salutations, friends! I've missed you all :) 

 ~Chan

Andrea Dietrich November 8, 2014 at 9:49 AM Sorry I did not see this one before you passed away. You wrote several new poems in September and I don't think I was aware of them. I hate to say "if only..." but I hope you know I was someone who enjoyed seeing you at soup, dear Chan. Only God knows and now you know too.

Mark Peterson October 28, 2014 at 8:23 AM Chan, I love this form. Each couplet builds strength as in progression you hurl your stunning invectives, intensified by the unique use of capitalization that focuses and drives the rhyme.
