Causing our weary hearts to yearn and strive for a little more.
Always a little more.
The glittering jewels of his bedazzled fingers ignite passions 
Deeply buried within the recesses...

Primed ready

Standing like naughty school children

they do only 20 time's better

Never actually having done...

and consecrated as a Temple's Inner Chamber.
Respected amongst his colleagues,
reverenced by His subordinates,
distinguished, honorable and set apart.

Then came the moment of Truth
like the refining fire which may burn or may...

When Moses came back down
With his tablets and inscriptions
He left some lying around
With some critical prescriptions

Continued at eleven
Not to stop the count on fingers
If you want to go to heaven
Add these extra rules and stingers

Not allow politics to pollute the populace
With issues like regionalism and language 
Permit free movement of men and goods
Connect the country with tree-lined roads.

Deal ruthlessly with anti-national elements
Issue stern warning to all political animals
Mischief by...

The protests are written from the busy pen
of the one whose thoughts are quite driven
yet she cries "foul" like a rumple feathered hen
when the thoughts of another are simply given

Her name-calling ploy is such a...

This now time is a gift to graft a moment
In the mist,
Or how in the midst of circumstance;
Such volatility brews this even stance to render;
balance for the few;
What year is this bleak friend?

Let us put on humility,
Even being on center stage; 
Remain meek and modest amid

Lying with no memory in its jagged skull staring moody
 Alas! Am...

My death is near
It is sure and certain
That out of this bed
I shall not get!

But
A lot I have to say
Yet
I say so little!

The world I met

To leave in peace!

Peace I see...

Contamination of self wants out of prison cells
Control over...

Clear cut clarity colored Claire’s comprehensions
Complicated complex constructs couldn’t compete or compute

Capable, confident, and constant, she was clearly consistent.
Her complacency...
