Short Attestation Poems

(The world’s fasted growth industry)

“While the shopkeeper
displays his wares,
for the whole world
to peruse!”

In infamous sway
behind the ostentation
lives the truth of his
draconian sweat!
The attestation of
wholesale systems
groveling in strategic
mayhem, created to
delegate accountability
to the lowest common
denominator!

Straight, direct meaning, 
No ambiguity or question, 
Of relationship or hearing, 
Only malicious attestation. 

Seventy-five thousand, 
Killed by the 15 kiloton bomb, 
In one there was no pasture land, 
For the innocent overthrown.

Red fluid permeated, 
Scolded the lungs of the fit, 
No reactions competed, 
With that rupture that lit. 

Never again should war, 
Take the lives of so many, 
Because lifted is the bar, 
On freedom and autonomy....

To my one true love
I give you this gift
That is everlasting
That will remain 
On my body
As a testament of my devotion to you
Until my last breath

My heart is breaking because of my bitter regret
For I owed you this homage long ago
I just hope this long awaited tribute
Takes you to cloud nine
Blissfully causing your heart to sing 
For above the rose tattoo
The name of my heart's desire is displayed
An attestation of my love for you, my darling...
