Seems like Trump's new condition
      has dampen his road to ambition
and with a foe like Pelosi,
things are not quite so rosy
        for now he must face some attrition....

Valley's fine productive mission.
Native paintings, no commission.
They survive without attrition.
Field hands, herdsmen.
Place of peace and good nutrition.
Goats and sheep-pen....

God of War
Roar
Hear my Whine
Pine
Soft belly ambition
Attrition
Aries hot breath
Death
His long fight
Contrite
My lack thereof
Dove
Will soft mushy
Puppy
I need berries

Hostile tribes lived close to mission.
Soldiers' use brought tribes's submission.
They saw life's improved condition.
Life was sweeter.
Sale of mission reaped attrition
Day joys fleeter....

Now that 
we’ve processed 
the whales 
on their gurney
and salvaged 
some profit 
from rainforest trees,
maybe it’s 
time we stab 
forks in our ice cream,
turn cones 
of attrition on you & me....

Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat
Does anyone care what the goose feels about that
It's still a tradition
But causing attrition
Poor goosies, hope they're prepared, it's a wrap...

Chance for Each Circumstance

According to each latest circumstance,
Loud and clear can be given a chance;
Killed with ammunition,
And not normal attrition;
Many were thrown into a Trump trance.

Literal is not,

the fake climb is aunt,

and a stake in the attrition not an alimony as you can see clearly in me...I do not assuage an empire-

I follow in the most economical exigencies,

as one is up, another is down my friend....

Listen to poem:

Mine's bigger than yours
I shout louder and longer
Jump-in interuptus
deterent be damned
I'm gonna have my say.
Mutual self-destruction
is on the cards.
Attrition balition,
siege swarming,
your flanks are weak.
You're not listening, are you?...

Sometimes money isn’t enough,
the wheat rejects the chaff

Wealth attained by winnowing gain, 
the scarecrow only laughs

Sometimes money isn’t enough,
the numbers rise and fall

Interest accrues¬ as attrition renews
—the richest count forestalled 

(Valley Forge: November, 2020)...

It is better to be a pauper in paradise
Than a hero in chaos,
For a pauper in paradise can still
Partake in plentiful simple pleasures,
Yet a hero in chaos is neither free
From untimely death nor above the
Corrosive attrition that fear begets.

As I choose to peruse your poetic views
I absorb many mixed feelings in there
Filled with ambition, love and attrition 
From shyly bold to ragged rich debonair

This cauldron divine proves to show mine
As a confused rhymers rants I suppose
Show me no sorrow, I'll rise tomorrow  
I'll improve, but for now, I boop your nose!...

-Food for thought...-

Distributed freeze-dried nutrition,
a consumers dietary attrition?
Constitutional, by institutional
conglomerate corporate ambition.

Do our politicians convictions
mandate our "home-style" traditions?
It's the consumption, of faux production,
that decays our human condition.

After the long road lined with attrition 
I am finally in a better position 
To dance lightly into the distance
Alive and euphoric
To a passage that is historic 
For romanticizing mischievous play 
Like a fugitive whose gone astray
Ribbons of your spellbound affection 
Light my direction 
Captor me now for I may be lured to flight 
On an endless trip to delight...

In war of attrition 
with moon, 
you need a black eye.

The stars blinked.
A milkyway changed its stance 
and went on fast track.

The sense of sky 
was changing. Earth 
decided to take off the veil.


I was not engaging 
any contradictions. Let the turmoil 
throw up an alternative.

It was seen coming. 
The blind snakes 
starting an intrepid attack.

If money was tight to a rope would it be consider loose or communism income

If the blind hand a hand on a bag does the bag look or speak with money is spend

If sign language was like a license would it sit there or play gamble with attribution or ethnicity 

If matter and fact count sufficiency income would we all know statistics or the 

First one count to share a proper degree....

Roar goes the monstrous winds of the west 
Whooshing against the coast 
The Blustery waves battling against the sails and boats 
 
Surfers loving the gigantic waves 
Hydraulic action, 
Attrition and Deposition 
You name it 
Gives us a wonderful coast 
Beautiful and peaceful 
 
The lovely breeze, 
Green hills, 
And the attractive landscape 
Make us fall in love with the countryside....

You ask those questions why
Head and Hands and spirit races
towards the skies
Unequivocal
A man speaks of promises
He raised much questions he's an alarmist
Well poised well-spoken man a politician
Devout
His specialist is attrition
To erase the nation
Does prominence is dominated by Satan



Unequivocal

There it is again
Bubbling up from within
Wretched wrath washing over me
Vile disgusting filth freely flowing
Angry demons seizing control
Forced attrition to evil urges

Screaming 
Yelling
Rants of rage

Watched from within
Helpless
Powerless

Unable to soothe the beast
Surrender to aggression
Until the bile is expelled
Vomited forth in fury
Leaving only the bitter tastes
Of regret and sorrow...

Dollars don't grow on trees
Spilling secrets saving scenes
Faltering for all the world to see
Uncongenial uncontrollability 
sucking life right out of me  

Where do simple answers lay
brooding stables they can stay
jumping hurdles as I pray
pressing for another day
feeling sun gods golden ray

pretentious prohibition
losing hope and inhibition
fame costing an exhibition
slowly caught attrition
lost is the attraction...

A young Russian couple were much elated
When expecting a new addition
Twins, Boris and Maxim, appeared
After considerable attrition

It wasn't long before they found out
She was pregnant with twins once more
They named them Adolf and Rudolf
It was even harder than before!

When a nurse brought them in she asked
What do you think you'll name a third set
The mother frowned and then she said
Getoff and Stayoff is my best bet!...

Based on observable 
And well-documented evidence,
War is nothing but the deliberate
And systematic erasure of human life,
With the purpose of achieving 
Some political goal.
In quantifying the variables 
That factor into the equation,
There is not, so much, 
A calculus of war, 
As there is a basic arithmetic,
And it is computed 
With the rubber end of a pencil.
In a war of attrition, 
God is on the side 
Of the big erasers....
