You had that future retro look:  two thousand seventeen,
There was a slow and sultry permanence, a little slouchy lean

Methinks, I post literary endeavors inxs
but tis with blood, sweat and tears
in case ye did not guess,
who struggles to craft reasonable rhyme

I'm worried
you have over valued
your favorite deceptively entertaining 
disformed
dis-eased commodity,

DisInformation's strategic value
and disvalue
and misvalue
depreciatively revaluated
against long-term resonant
and resilient democratic constitutional
win/win eco-political wealth
of USA patriotic empowerment
for resilient health and safety ecosystems

Not Nationalist Republican

Born and raised as a little child in a Witches’ coven,
the Black Witch was indeed a very precocious child
whose hell-spawned soul was seared in Hell’s oven,
and like Medusa herself was a creature gone wild.

and disvalues,
provoke out-raging
hypocritical anger.

It is only in epic transition times
when climatic health and...
