THE TOPTOMIST

                “TOPTOMIST”
   
  * Word Created by P. Romios *



T- they walk with a smile, in a negative world,
O-Oracles of Free Speech for everyone! 
P-Persevering their truth~despite overt ,persecution?
T- They know so well, when one door closes, another opens!.
O-Omens of those, who respect your great individuality.     
M-Mentors, they, your soul’s leaders, listen to their wisdom.
I- Independence, freedom, yes. poets Toptomists, fight for thee?
S-Silencing any poetic voice, is like  a heart gnawed to pieces by ticks,
T-Terror is only a dictator’s trick, dressed in righteousness,with no glow!

Hi John! I have been watching great Britain news for eight hours today so I can screw you in that I know what’s going on. With a great friend in England.. even your flag is in danger. Texting you to pay for migrants.. nO. Tell them to go back to France.. that chicken, they can all settle in Paris. And you have to start saying that. Get Sharmer out and Farage in. You have a country at.Stake, yes, I know about the women being raped and the children. Do something.. it will take more than poetry.. Pangie.xxxxx

Hey, Billl. I really hate to admit this, but I agree with you 100%.. I found the word really good. even think the poem was highly unusual. It is perfectly OK with me if people hate me, there is only one person. I have to really love ..his name is GOD!HiiM, He is the one who gave me the talent to write~ nobody else here ever did. think about it.)) Pangie xx with thanks

With sincere thanks, Elena, the USA does have the right to free speech, we are not jailed as in other countries, i think it is sad, we don’t let others speak here. TV speaks evil 24/7. And poets applaud it? Worse, they believe it.
