Stability Serene

Guns, erupt in city street? Shake the ground we love? Poison, corrupt what is sweet? Hear us, God above... Fan out, troops; if we hold back; Soon our fabled state; Will of course soon fade to black! Furies, flame, and fate... Justice, an apology? Yes, and when we're done; Serene, sage, stability! Warmth of setting sun! I've been feeling tired of late. Irritable. Maun. Dust and dynamite, thy plate. Hobo, rest on lawn. Terrible and mighty? Well, it's best to be. Fanciful? Faux. Flighty? Flicker, fancy-free? Pillars, in thy courtyard; What holds up the sun? Fame and Fortune, life a-hard. Anoint, choice. Dun. One. How do we recover? O sap, run down the bark. Warplanes, how you hover! Nighttime, scared of dark? Inspiration! Fill each pen! Time to think again... Penury, plight, dragon's den... Let us ask the wren! Forgive what is not so bad. Avenge what ye must! Paisley, how ye match with plaid! Iron, how you rust... Family is everything. Cement deep thy ties. Challenger, in every ring? Fingers, reach? En prise... Roundabout the garden wall; Scuppernong in spring. Egg-shaped warlord took a fall! Cockerel, sight a-sing. Stifled by circumstance dire? Send it on the wire. Cold outside? Then light a fire. Call thy dam and sire! Anyway. That's life, young sir. Helicopters whir! Clothing may just catch a burr! Lions bequeath fur... All of it is small? And large! Continuities strange; Will ye sink the fabled barge? Practice on the range. Wisdom! Suffer? So it goes. Eat well, O my crows. Prosaic? Best hold the nose! Dine with friends, O foes. Abbot of the temple grand; Every morn we stand. Young and old, take by the hand! Tomorrow: unplanned.
