Antithetical - Bitcoin Poem 076
Centralized power proves antithetical
To your freedom - it’s quite pathetical
They ask us to be more ascetical
And let them rule - it’s quite heretical
Collectivism fails! Not hypothetical
Property and Liberty - quite synthetical
I’ll stand for freedom and wax poetical
It makes the message more aesthetical

The following poem crafted
not quite thirty months ago,
when severe bad hair day
found yours truly self sequestered
toying with notion
to coif, primp, and tease, his limp locks,
(whose hirsute trademark noncompliant)
donned, heaped, lacquered,
and puffed daddy up swiftly tailored,
and the harried style
analogous to infamous forty fifth president.

Did that tongue not just bid me farewell?
Yet now it melts, sweet, in my mouth ...
Did your palm not just strike my cheek in indignation?
Still, now it works frantic to ready me ...
Did those eyes not just weep in bitter disregard?

When it is quiet, and you are alone,
Which does your mind prefer… to
Search for “truths” that have been found?

Daily investing in self-sufficiency, effort, greed and selfish pride
Rewards we may reap, perchance-- a few accolades confirm that we tried
Diversifications, independent autonomy, have natural appeal
Contrary principles,
