Best Acutance Poems
by Michaelw1two
Thinking’s challenge is to weigh,
all of one’s life substance;
quandary thus, illogical fuss,
which blinds the mind's acutance;
adscititiously into thoughts bleed,
vitiated indurate boastance;
corrumpable sequella fortuity,
each thought, is truth’s desistance.
Retrospectively choices trial,
stands outside an untidy purport;
merycism seeps beneath one’s deep,
questions mythical adhort;
ex postfacto, pride’s precious précis,
ideas from ideals besort;
denouement cryptic episode,
Sphinges contend, issue alamort.
Sapience elusive rapture,
most minds need bethink acology;
humanity’s Id mulled,
without reference to a doctor of alethiology;
furgacious notions, become the norm,
arguments chime atheology;
Toison d’ or, parley prewar,
else high angels deem eschatology!
Medullary substance rare,
within rabid beings Tour de force;
coarctation, indeed strangulation,
dire result for living's bourse;
Nationalism's agenda, wiled racist theme,
keeps élan’s cry hoarse;
emasculation, Republican dream;
equates rule of thumb perforce.
Contemplative ideas abound,
behind the veil of Arriere Pensee;
insinuation to middle class,
jokes on all, laity economic refugee;
elucidation simplistic, vote for change,
or be laissez-faire etouffee;
sublevation, certifiable eminency,
party GOP national expellee!

How do I know when I have made someone happy?
Cause I sure can tell when I have not
How can I bite my tongue when I have so much to say?
Biting your tongue can cause unnecessary bleeding
How should I spread myself thin enough to help everyone?
Hopefully not under an old steamroller
How will I get out of the rut I got stuck in?
With the help of some good Samaritan maybe
How do we know who we can and cannot trust?
With intuition and measured acutance
How can I be assured that I will survive?
No-one person can be assured of this
How am I able to ask all of these questions?
With a lot of hard thought and expressiveness
Will this make sense to anyone other than myself?
Only those that read these lines will be able to answer
Would you answer all questions asked of you honestly?
The truth can hurt some people if they have trouble with emotions
Do I answer all questions asked of me honestly?
I answer each question in ways I think will not hurt the listener
