           To protest, paradigms of         
       Patterned positions, pathways           
   Pegged precise. Postpone the push 
 And pull of passion prostrate, to push
 And pull in planned pulses...  in preset  
Partial pirouettes,purloin the progress of         
 Premeditated peace. Pressing, pacing,   
    Perspiring,to purchase a panacea         
         Of prisoners… The present           
                   Passes-Past.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

This is a very creative piece, Ryan Paul .:) I love how you employed the letter 'P' to project the imagery. Great beginning and clever end. I believe that I'm one of these 'procrastinators'. :( Not so much fun. Often I will overcome this with spontaneity. This doesn't always work either. :) I'm procrastinating at the moment, I'd better go and get some stuff finished up...sighhh Best to you...God bless you and yours...Mikki .:)
