Cannons sing where dreams ignite,
flanks ablaze in shifting fury.
A tide of hunger drives them forward,
bellies growling, eyes shot with fire.
Empire surges in their veins.
Pervitin hums a dark rhapsody.
Dive bombers scream their discord,
night and day, tearing silence apart.
Blood is absent from their tongues
only steel, only ash remains.
They roll, ruthless, through broken shadows,
flattening all under their sharp wheels.
Fortifications crumble like wet paper,
the enemy whispers swallowed whole.
Nothing stands; all things fall.
Shock trips, outflanking chaos reigns.
Victory tastes of burnt iron,
a bitter kiss of almost-complete empire.
War dreams devour the sky with noise,
and dusk ascends in violent, silent reverence.
Fast break, a blur,
Points rain down, a sudden storm,
Net sings, game over.

Blitz the day
Blitz in a lightening
Lightening the way
Lightening an importing
Importing the play
Importing as if to say to
To day light the way
To illuminate zamindar
Zamindar of owing a looking
Zamindar rent booking
Booking a room with a view
Booking in lieu
Lieu of mood
Lieu of institute
Institute your lines
Institute my time
Time spent effacing
Time lent to this zoo
Zoo of concrete
Zoo showcasing base
Base sing in treble

Zest for life
Zest for breath
Breath of breadth

Length of purpose
Length of impose
Impose your duty
Impose yours truly
Truly you wisp the way
Truly like a zephyr
Zephyr of hand
Zephyr of band
Band of allegiance
Band of legion
Legion air of atmosphere
Legion ideal
Ideal cavalier
Ideal temperature
Temperature of blitzkrieg
Temperature of lightning zeal
Zeal
Blitzkrieg
Blitzkrieg Bop shaked one fertile ground
In Germany where people sat on the ground
Under the heat of the sun
Open bodies laid under the gun.
Blitzkrieg Bop became a craze
Up front and behind a famed naze
Moving, shaking above and under the trees
Trembling, quivering with high knees.
Blitzkrieg Bop ruled over the world
Seventy six atop the torn world
People with sad faces learned to prance
Everywhere they hopped, wiggle and dance.
worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves
eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh
fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked
callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.

Note: Of masticated mentality.
Soul.
How useless.
The essence and smell of mortality is released in death.
Those who have no good reason to live,
Live only by sense of superiority
Supported by sheer unbridled arrogance, raw and rank,
but the only proof of life.
die quick
die soon,
die incomplete
as death remains whole and total
wet wits worn
perforating pulpy pawn
pestered passion puked
cremating clipped cruise
hoisted hankering drooled
felon fate bruised
meagre metamorphoses moaned
spurring sassy sow
gullible gifts grown
dark diminuendo birthed
dribbling crescendos fitted
rusty rhythm rusticated
felon ambiguity flown
by blitzkrieg blown.

Note: Of airy ambiguity.
Blitzkrieg= blitz (lightning) + krieg (war)
The word blitzkrieg means "rapid attack" in German language.
In Marketing world, same strategy is used to manage
a focused campaign for a product,
to help promoting unknown product
to specific customers through media to gain vantage.

Being Caught in a Big Blitzkrieg
Could it have been that her and a colleague
Had both been caught in a big blitzkrieg
And when they did rules started to bend
Until Hillary started showing her hind end.
Conservative and liberal are losing causes
As digging in deep they do all their claws's
Then ever start thinking that an open mind
Is something you are supposed to leave behind.
Then there are many things that are tactical
And also in politics that may be impractical
Never tried to fit my fancy or also taste
Everyone proceeded in making a big waste.
So once this whole thing is over and done
Last dutiful day of Presidency us is upon
We are sure glad he was such a stickler
On gun control and types that were particular.
