shows he was quite a sleuth

how long it would take
for the ultimate

That are defining 

Whether big or small

They hold great significance

Your favorite child with all your affection 
Is that your other children

go hide amongst treachery,
take all give nothing

Love is the leavening of life,
Old man caring for his old wife.
Vital component of worthwhile living,
Every true love is also forgiving.

dished out on deep space research
for mankind’s progress
while millions know starvation
who is defining progress?

For the lack of refining called taste
Is a crack in the lining of waste
If the voice of respect
Is a choice you neglect
Then your back is defining your haste.

  Basketball's  considered a 'contact sport'

Cage Can Be Confining

To the fact myself I am resigning;
Any cage can be quite confining;
Quiet am told,
And even cold;
Each moment in it was a defining.
