and later, watch an evening...

Frice the week along with night had fallen to sleepless slumber,
Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number.

Hive mind 
behind.
Recognize 
the sign.
A different train
to align.
Travel alone.

No sanctum
clarified.
Transparency

Actions
justified.
In turn,
hang
the spy.
Freedom
rescind.
It's all
a lie.
Clipped wings.
Our Eagle

I created a time machine
Because I have a sacred vision
To abort Augustus Caesar
Is my life's holy mission
His dogmas concerning marriage
And procreation for the state
Precursor to that religion of empire
I will personally eliminate

Back to forty four...

The long, motionless hours of night;
a nod, a blink or deep breath away from
a new day's noise and bustle.
Modern life, soon enough, will secure
its grip on each of us.
Many prefer the reticent solitude offered
in darkness....

Attention!

Attention!

Attention is fresh.
Attention is ripe.
Attention is fast and ready to bite.

Attention is crisp.
Attention is clear.
Attention is loud and firm and proud.

Attention is strong.
Attention is cross.
Attention speaks and stops the lot.

Or accept things in peace?

Polarizing the Populous

Heaven’s tide is far and wide as they manage in their malevolent mockery
Their hands are tied and losing pride, dining without candelabra crockery
In a calamitous chasm their dreams in spasm as they awaken...
