as he stepped forward into the darkness
He had been...

Is there something we can learn,
From the viciousness printed by the press

Masterpieces or paintings 
Exceeding exponentially esthetically

And mon amour at the same time 
How do you do and I love you
Combined this direction...

I will shed for your absence

Hurt now replaced by anger
Rejection & humiliation
With relief and pride
I did nothing wrong
Except love you
Until the end

That moment
Decided by you alone
To move on
Live...

Were stories sung 
Where minds in thrall by minstrels 
Were held
With tales revealing

The currency of glory and shame.

Who does not marvel at 
Achilles's pride
A ruthless killing machine...

and felt,
most virtuous circle systems
love meaningful ecological theology,
a WinWin reiteratively continuous choice
grows political democratic
tit=tat resilience into multicultural perpetuity,
whether virtuous ego inside
and/or eco-habitat therapeutic outside.

Like implicit competitions,
not not corollaries make most vicious

Shadows started to blur, the turbulence began to stir,
The faint ticking from a distance, dragged on and on with perseverance,

Noise, chaos, intensity, struck painful poundings to my head,

He did not make you better than another!
But created you to honor one another.

America unlocked
Is the monster
under stairs
stirring? 
The bottom class
 wondered
as upper class
called them higher.
Master like playing games
 stoking darkened fears
enjoyed teasing
emancipated 
Kept them

The sharp fangs
of illiteracy overtly ruling
Liked them tamed
and their feet...
