Take your own sweet time, and let others keep time.
Tea for two always ends up in a hell-uv-a bellowing brew ;    
        tea and sympathy in a hullaballoo.
The choice between Scylla and Charybdis is like...

If it smells good and tastes good, I will be munching
Eating is not about caloric number crunching
My taste bud is the judge and not the dietitian

First to arrive was the Head, Hand and Leg tribe
Then...

Institutional Jargon

Strait lined jacket, 
A wheelchair line-up peruses the pasty walls
In synchronized fashion
Secured by schedule 
Where the pristine uniform

When breath is gone
The body is broken
When trust is gone
The relationship is broken. 

The one who cheat cries
The one who have been cheated
Also cries, the difference
Only takes after two days.

The less the expectation
The more to life is beautiful
The best you give to work
The greater is...

Some say, “he took a life,”
or many lives,
some say it that way
and do not call it what it is.

the ‘taken'’ somewhere
killing would be such a waste

THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOUND BUSINESS
THEY CONDUCTED THESE DOINGS UNDER 
THE CLOAK OF EAGERNESS

SPECIAL AND SOMETHING SO FUTURISTIC

IT'S UNREADINESS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT ONLY THE VERY
 SMART AND EFFLUENT...

Alphabet Soup

Everywhere I look, I see acronyms…

A language all of its own for each category.

A shorthand of sorts.

Outsiders confused and aggravated. 

They requested clarification. 

Only to be answered with jargon shorthand.
