Long Compare and contrast Poems

Play the familiar tune of in-unison serenity 
Fatality won't come any time soon, thankfully...

Homeless people were on the news not to long ago...I weep...

Political Science is the compare and contrast study
of governing authority powers
with concomitant economic responsibilities,
and...um...opportunities,
speaking perhaps too candidly.

Why not other powers?
Compassions 
that can be governed only bipartisanly,
and would like to become
health care co-invested?

Political scientists worry if...

Dear Siblings Three,

I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,

I believe it was Buckminster Fuller
who first posited
a prime appositional,

Atheism,
for a Taoist
and for UUs
and Zeroists,
and Not ZeroSumists,
and Positive ZeroZone Therapists,
is synonymous with Agnosticism
and maybe Gnostic BiCameral Consciousness.

Healthy skeptics,
but not pessimists,
Agnostics understand how win/lose leftbrain either/or dominant
intelligent people
confuse Atheism with AntiTheism
but do not internally suffer...

Jealousy is like a disease that takes over your mind,
In your thoughts it's as if they've committed a crime.

Poets are a funny lot
they come for what is sizzling hot
Compassionate? Most times they're not!

Fun to watch and be part of
A unifying pillar across continents

In a bid to own possession
And make a score
An act charming the heart

Who hands are damned?

I’ve tried out a brand new form

To die, to hope, to love, to give
To fight, to hurt, to want, to live

Under the sun, scorching heat, reflecting light

Angels and demons all burn by flame

Float across the classroom precipitating knowledge

Life is like an ambiguous script
It is nothing more than a over developed metaphor

The high moors slant giddily over gritstone edges
where torrents overflow gallons of sky.
Grouse are blown sideways
by a bone-twisting gale.

The land is harried by fishtailing winds,
a sparse tufted earth blown beyond its roots.

In the valley, cats...
