The litmus test of each action
Is touch of love tender
Making joy our soul’s reaction
As soundless bliss thunder
Fall not prey, to thought ruse
For ego will bemuse
Will attempt to confuse
No load on chest
The litmus test

The Trump account, the litmus test ~
how that goes is anybody's guess...
Watch words wing
Set stroke swing
Ply prompt ping
Clear charm cites
Weave work writes
See sense site
Play proud pace
Seek some space
Time true trace
Reap rich rhymes
Taste tough times
Craft cheer chimes
Bright blooms brief
Gripe grips grief
Litmus leaf

Insert the knife a little deeper
crush my heart with the hardest stone
You shall see my love crawling
Towards you as ever, o my love…..
Slice the heart and draw the blood
test will be tougher and
game will be delightful
result a success , O my love…..
I know you don’t have courage
For this litmus test
Then why not believe
I am true to you, O my Love……
papered dipstick of today's measure
will words be too acidic or too base
budding our tongues to sour or pleasure
a tinge of breath exhaled paper chase
our empathy in hues of blues, our anger
bright crimson of hot-blooded emotion
hypothalamic firings line up with danger
counterbalancing truer feelings of devotion
emotions of one or all together as a whole
governed by what lies deep in our brains
unable for our free will to take control
so logically, we're helpless to abstain
both in-the-pink and pie-in-the-blue-skies
measure of our civility, as always, applies

a true litmus test
turning me deep crimson red
a beautiful shade
Litmus Test
Litmus test
In this medical testing world we live in this strang new millennium they give us
sickness not unto Death but eye am still afraid sometimes to take the test they
scratched my arm once with a neuron toxin and eye was almost layed to rest
The doctor told me it would make a bump so BOYO was eye happy when bump
was raised but THEN the people of the place that eye was in
Said eye could not even stay thay pooed at me and told me the serum must have
caused a reaction you are sick they would not listen to my reason or the fact that
the inoculation was making me much better and the only indicator of the problem
of my arm became a zero factor when the director of the mission kicked me right
outside the door they told me not once but three different times we do not help
your kind of person you have no reason to exist you are closer now to becoming
extinct you are just worthless today and every other day just go away old
homeless stay away this was the litmus test
