Short Abolishing Poems

flame polished
my
hands are wet
polishing flames
of
regret

names abolished
my
plans far fetched
abolishing names
a
nest

fame demolished
my
demands star bet
demolishing fame

To change the human race-
Just William they called him,
Persistence helped him win
This triumph over sin.

Within your illumination
Happiness and tranquility
Blessed with a possibility
An enchanting temptation

Ruins of fortification,
Shackles of my immobility
Transformed to vulnerability
Seizing offered jubilation

Within your lasting melody
Purity and affection
Abolishing my barricade

Embraced in your serenity
Eternal bliss, my protection
Freed to glow by your serenade...

Interwoven fabric, a tapestry of life
As men all come together, abolishing their strife

A dream of peace and harmony, real if we just try
Is possible and probable, if we look then to the sky

For riding on a cloud of white, a child there for all
Listen and observe His ways; answer to His call

We’ll make the New Year happy, if we all just try to be
As all that He intended, to end our misery...

I lost you, these moments still I’d hold
above all else like worship. Like an Idol 
abolishing a church-ship.
And in this you’d inhabit myself.

And not a thing can hold or keep this....

Abraham Lincoln, the president, 
Awe-inspiring American gent. 
Lead the American Civil war 
Abolishing slavery no more. 

Abraham Lincoln, the president, 
Scraggly and tall, cheeks each flaccid dent. 
Laughing, jokes were told of people’s flaws.  
Jokester, mocked how ugly he was. 

Abraham Lincoln, the president 
Shared his humorous stories frequent.  
History's great leaders, once long ago;
Helped shape the America we know.
