reflect

in the waking state
but what of dreamless sleep

where are we then
we recall it not
yet awake from it nevertheless 

so

are we not the screen...

that couldn't be answered.

Alas ample alliteration available?!

True (terrific) title: Trump's truckling tutored troopers...;
wily word wizard worried,

their traitorous tractable toxic troglodyte:
today transition toward
totalitarianism tidily trends.

The lion has roared
But has anyone heard?
The jungle wilds have listened
All have scattered and hidden
Each time a sparrow falls
Our Heavenly Father sees all
And hastens to the birdy's fall

The Divine questioner has spoken
But the human hearer...

Someone said, “Now you’ve turned forty-,
What have you learned?
Your experience must be varied,
Your fingers quite burned.

You must’ve gone through troubled times,
Of disappointments you’d’ve quite a share;
But how does life’s learning
For your future prepare?”

I looked at...

Did he know that testing you is like a Babelian flaw?

Truth be told I don’t have many
Truths…that is
My beliefs have changed
Over the years
Not always for the better
According to some
Who hold their “truths” paramount.
I tell those people
“I am what you made me”

It’s been said that
I have...

No comfort for the questioner no solace for the lost
With rules and hypocrisy engrained in the folds
Of vestments golden -

If a broth can be spoiled 
By too many cooks
That advice can, as well, be applied
To a patient consulting 
With too many docs
To determine what problem's inside.

for this is done in vain,
nor should we blame the blameless,

their hearts are wrought of steel,
