The Departing of The Heart
Salutations for the sound of mind and poverty of heart
Reparations that don’t come through in time to rectify the start
Commiserations for the ones who find it hardest to eventually part
Palpitations of another heart that cannot perceive the concept that it must depart
Military consequences that send the young men out to war
Conciliatory influences of the leaders who target hiring of the poor
Crematory inferences necessary as they knock on heavens door
An Adversary without recompense that helps me get up off the floor
Kindness for the people that are on daily parade
Blindness from the steeple as we play Holy charades
They Find less sympathy for the feeble as they huddle close and afraid
Passing through the eye of a needle as the ferryman gets paid
Interjections from the galley as the defendant begins to cry
Objections in a midnight alley as the amendment causes him to deny
Rejections of the black sheep in a family as without her flock she’ll surely die
Comprehensions of the urgency that communicate in sighs

The arise of racism is unknown
Maybe due to the historical factors
The first settler factor
The authority and jurisdiction factors
The origin factor
The dispute factor
It needs forgiveness, forbearance and conciliatory if any
But I believe I hope I pray
There won't be racism in the eyes of
God
Am I a day dreamer

Self-fulfilling wisdom
And the sake of all that
Which is Holy…
The Dear Lord break’s bread
With His disciples’
Some the Holy of the
Most Holy
Some the Highest of the Most High
To refurbish the Covenant Once again...
Then to dispense
His conciliatory Wine as a Tribute
To re-affirm the faith
Of all Man

Execution
In the absence of complication,
intricacies of wayward living,
matters emphatically mitigated,
compelling conclusions, well-received,
extenuating circumstance accomplishes,
impressive consequences, be enduring,
proffers a conciliatory concession,
for toward said conclusion, we pray that all our
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
amidst the enshrined immersed in the contributable phosphorous azure sea,
encouraged glissades a capricious peacock anointed from an Irish spring,
envisage a virtuous seduced meadow saturated with consistent meandering streams,
lands righteous depths fluidity of the membranes cortex wherever valedictory flourish,
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.

Inhumanities buzzard picks at the scraps
squabbling over trash
vultures of the pavement
denying everything has life
A confetti of money
the wedding funeral of it’s own immoral concept
squawking the incantations
of debt
the milking breast
for these divisions of hate
Automaton march
blindfolded into prisons
wifi choir to gobble in slavering mouth
the dance of freedom
Piled to height shop window front
a catalog of so many possessions
scrape nail biting destitution
of anything of all
but nothing at all
without them
Merry-go-around and round and around
the cul-de-sac of evolution
entrenched, entranced the myriad of human
jack-hammered incessant
into the point of believing
and by deaths alter
sacrifice life
Every dream a skirmish
squandered to the three percent
take a selfie
maybe it’s the only way to ease the pain
be just a ghost in life
who’s monument was the tombstones of prophets
and the next generations list of regrets
Round and around the merry-we-go around
bruised in the dirt by same old, old same trip wires
todays tomorrow repeated again
as if we all have nothing to learn
Evolution
is just a conciliatory conceptual term

standing on the line
thoughts turn to death,
crossing over, passing on
what ever term we humans use
to make the inevitable less frightening
it is the last big event and we avoid the reality.
try and talk about dying with anyone
you are shunned, ignored or worse still
diagnosed as deeply depressed
their eyes roll innocently to your wrists
voice changes to distanced conciliatory tone.
platitudes well rehearsed fumble across
the chilling space in dark profusion
their fingers creep, supposedly unnoticed,
toward the prescription pad
quick, plan your escape silence is golden
scared the stuffing out of the poor beggar
i know i am afraid, mostly of the pain
or stumbling around in a confusion,
cut off from life,
by the very treatment for pain
there will be loss of self, then,
a discovery of something so profound,
answers to all of my questions.

Superman Show Was Cancelled
Started to embark
We ran into Joan of Arc
Was with Kent a Clark.
Wrote cute canticle
And song purpose did fulfil
Then fired at w(W)ill.
Will had not been well
Our singing seemed to be swell
William had to t(T)ell
Recently had heard
Kent had been sealed in cement
So show was cancelled.
Like at Trump's inauguration
which should have been in
Kenosha where everyone
never came and were
a no show. While being
condescending to Wisconsin
What we say on the horizon
was none other than Eddie
Munster in charge of all the
conciliatory representatives.
Have you noticed the
similarity lately?

I love Politics
And have been watching in
Confusion and Amazement
At Donald Trumps election as President
The first address he gave
Was 1 with a rather conciliatory tone
Expressing a will to govern for all
But it seems to have brought Riot's
And lawless to the streets
From opposition supporters
Who profess he is divisive
If Trump has lost the Election
Would his supporters have marched or rioted?
Or would they have just accepted the result
And moved on
The Man has yet to take office
But seemingly will never be given a chance
Remind you of man named Obama
Hard to succeed when no 1 wants
1 to succeed or puts aside personal preferences
For the greater good

The Land of a Thousand Sorrows beckons,
more afraid of locked doors than firm walls with no windows.
A pattern erupts
where chaos once was free.
Take no charge nor conciliatory tone with me.
I'll meet you beneath the keystone,
directly above the familiar catacomb.
You will hand to me what is yours,
and I shall take you as mine as well.
Litter is strewn beneath the parapet;
an umbrella keeping the acidic rain in.
Formulating revolutionary agendas-
let the blind lead the blind as far as they can see.
Roving armies bent on war abound,
while women try to hide the children beneath rotted floors.
This is the Land of a Thousand Sorrows,
this is the place we call home.

When I look back and see
those bright white lights,
those colored balloons in clusters,
I think about regret.ƒ|
You danced gracelessly,
and I didn¡¦t dance at all. ƒn
Would it have hurtƒn
to tap your fabric shoulder?
Maybe it would have ruined that
night, and the crystal perfection
of our conciliatory wine glassesƒz
the sparkling ginger ale, our laughter
like the rapidly rising bubbles in
our drinks.
I think about regret.
I regret thinking of this.

Petulant pouts and reluctant shrugs,
Smirk of nose, slight of eyes glint,
Made the communication impasse,
She was expectant somewhere under,
That I will smoothen pouts and make her more than shrug,
Straighten her nose and set her eyes normal straight shine,
And gently and coaxing murmur sweet nothings in her ears,
Hopelessly, cinematically romantic she thought she was,
I had had enough and could not stand to be her hero,
Something inside me had knotted hard and fast,
I also had neat reasons to pout, shrug and smirk,
And also to carry on the incommunicado,
I had seen several of them do the same and many times,
The genuine animal inside me had risen to the fore,
It did not want to act conciliatory but gnash teeth,
Reduced to naturals the relationship had to end,
As naturally as it could get,
It did so fast enough,
I have now another pout, smirk, shrug and glint.
