An orogeny pushes
The batholith upwards
To become ‘The Shrine of Democracy,’
Of weathered presidential faces
Chiseled in rock in South Dakota;
Representing 150 years of history
(From birth of a nation
To...

 Poetic writes speak volumes too,
 this profound nature of humanity;
 expression’s glyph or determination’s rift,
 each soothing rhyme or base profanity;
 provoke of consciousness that drift,
 so casually or with rude insanity;

ecstatic of tomorrow we sold desolated
Our heart beat no more bathos of hope

Hear Me, O Muse, no moos or cluckings, muckings or horns of fog

And Africa came with a beauty regalia,
the sun was on her with a toothful giggle,

What if fruitless should grow a goodly deed, 
A pleasant song is tuned with poignant lilt, 
A buoyant theme, on notes of bathos’ built, 
If so, how long would last my pompous creed?
