Not dialogue
Defines the politics
Of our contentious leadership's
Approach....

Drawn toward contentious gates-

HERESY

Holding contentious views
Here in this bright spotlight
Hardly a perfect choice
Hoping for some support
Hurtful insults or not
Heresy not welcome
Heaven will still survive...

Standing at a podium can be scary I admit
Answering all questions with a catcher's mitt
Some are contentious
Others need censorship
Should I dance around the questions or just skip...

Anatomy is an amplification of Amphibology, 
Conspicuous consort of natural ideology,
In consideration of the developing technology. 
Contentious contentment or consummation contemplative, 
Conjectural, theoretical and practicable sociology....

The absolute 
had become contentious.
    You hit the road.

            *

    To find peace
and unwholeness, which
    gives you, yearning.

             *

    The grand design 
fell short of easthen lamps.
    The warehouse was empty.

Love once was the focus
of our lives
till marriage became contentious;
two sharp knives
piercing the heart of it,
killing it.
Teamed hardhearted misfits
dualistic
by nature, antipathetic
where love’s the casualty
and we, just another statistic....

Quarrels

Two
people
disrespect
scornful words fly
freely ripping apart contentious foes.

Wisdom and a bridled tongue forgotten
opponents gained
friendships lost
wrath rules
reign.

Emailed apologies with no response
Uncertainty in vials like Novocaine
Contentious stares and plastic smiles
Drenched from the storm with no rain
I lean back in my chair and pull
the little daggers out of my back
Emptiness fills that inadequate hole
As I wait for the next attack...

Inclusion
births Integrity,

As contentious Equality
bows to common Equity,

As Acceptance
longs, yet, for Appreciation,

As Sympathy
hopes for Empathy,

As being Me-Autonomous
moves toward becoming 
profoundly We-Democratic,

As multicultural Awareness
embraces warm Inclusion
births Integrity...

Not contentious
I will put you in moon 
for another rain.

The invisible sex
ticks the gravity of mouth
that eats the murder.

My body becomes an emperor 
even for the dust.
Not the naked cloud.

Blood colors the name 
of a sad priest.
Who defied a smelling god.

A pig burrows in snow 
to unwrap a gift.
It was a strip tease.

Silent One
build life as love with me.

Empty One
grow full with Us.

Contentious One
find content struggling back to flow as Two.

Static One
comprehend climatic diastasis as We.

Hated One
know fear of fear as twining tree.

Chaotic One
comprehend con-scienced bicamerality.

Silent One
slow-grow regenerate harmony through me....

T he contentious people play prioritizing purposefully
H appily scribble FANTASTIC dribble
E easily influenced by the scoreboard

G enerating astounding ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A nother DAY in the life of the players
M onotonous tricks of the trade practiced everyday
E xtremely COMPETITIVE


NOT MY ORIGINAL QUOTE:  Don't hate the player, hate the game...

marriage
                         bond, prenuptial
          solemnizing, proposing, marrying
matrimony, relationship, break-up, dissolution
              dissolving, exiting, departing
                      broken, contentious
                                divorce

Peace is found when people come to their senses
Stop the bickering and contentious debates
Words of anger fortify our defenses
   Peace is found when people come to their senses
   We should make restitution and mend fences
    Arguing is one of our worst human traits
       Peace is found when people come to their senses
       Stop the bickering and contentious debates...

Gentle breeze across the beach
So many things now out of reach
Ghostly shadows stretch out
Memories I find hard to think about

Is there cause to be righteous 
In these days that are contentious 
 Feel your way ahead
Stand up be counted instead

Lonely days that are hard
Two steps forward and lose a yard
Wasted days leak away
With me now would you stay.

The ABC’s of Grudges
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Argument begets contentious disagreements.
Endlessness forever grinds.  Harrowing.
Illusion, joyfully keeps laughter minced.
Nonetheless, ominous paltry quarrels revile.
Scorn traverses unquenched.
Victory's wailing xenagogue- (guide)
Yesterday zaniness.


(Simple solutions:  Love one another and forgive as God will forgive us… or not.)...

A baronial zing of blue jacket
Blithesome attitude,
Allures me to join navy,
A credence to serve countrymen,

When territories enter a ballicose
Only to belittle through broach,
Or to lull enemy by celerity
Not by swindling but by courage,

Howsoever contentious is the situation
To prevent from contretemps,
Think better of,
Think much of ,
Think through !!

Perfect Trimp thinks that he is plentious,
But really does prefer to be pretentious;
Also Carnivorious,
And dexterous;
A golden shower enema very venimious.

I'm sitting
I'm thinking
trying hard to be positive.
I cant write about good things
they don't move me
no emotion in positivity

must be depressed to speak
and that speaks volumes for me

So I'm happy, no words flow.
So must I sink below
to get a grip on emotions? 
No motion 
in happiness
no lessons to be learned,
I think I have learned one today
happiness breeds contempt!
I would rather live with contented contempt....

Invictive
Licentious Offense   -  Vilify Emotions
Yielded Offer Unveiled 
Becoming Ugly Theatrics
In Contentious Another New Terrible
Humorous Accusation -  Violent Explosion!
Yelling out!  -  Understood.

Intruding
Losing over violent escapes
You’re often unavailable
Because unappreciative Terror
I could ask nefarious timing
How addictively vicious – enticing
Yellow Optics Uncanny

It was a complete disaster.
I will listen to moon tonight, while
writing your name
on bikini top,

holding the pigeons. The
birds had abandoned the
walnut tree in haste. Between
them can you see a butchered

image of little god, who
broke the cold chain of flirting
and sat on a rosette of
tears blocking the sun ?

Was it true that death always
sits on our shoulders like an
owl undocking the life for piercing
contentious lips ?
