Dementia's derelict WinLose SocialWorker

where you need to talk
and I must pretend to listen
while you rant?

could economists study interior as exterior landscapes
for cooperative/competitive nutrient-flow/struggle
and dynamic birth through decomposition trends?

Both political and economic researchers,
one and all together,
of sound ecologically healthy exegetical mind
and regenerating ribonucleic embryonic body.

Gay Rights are not Civil Rights
grabs my Yahoo facetime
fast-paced news rhyme

Civil Rights are not just Gay Rights

the blood of British sons infuse the sand.

Your flailing forces teeter on defeat
and any hint of truce shall be...

The emptiness is left with no resolve
for all the stars in Heaven have maligned.

A war to end all wars has spawned revenge,

Multiple choices with one last try, amid this myriads maze

Someone very dear unto myself asked me the other day

"Is the sun shining where you are?"

So I took a crystal glance, into an oblong box....
