Predict An Edict

What we must be able to do is predict,
What erudite really had made the edict;
Same old song;
Never wrong;
Who were the people that they picked.

I put my pain into my pen
so as not to drown in the
morass of melancholy
Bleeding onto blank pages
My lifeblood in every lyric
my essence
in each erudite
piece of prose
My song those pages
will sing long after
I have been silenced
by the tyranny of time...

DIALECTIC POMPOSITY   and other name calling
    by V. Anderson-Throop

Dialectic Pomposity
Still chases me---
Elitist snob---
What is the precise
termonology
For an individual
Erudite
With droll wit
Who encounters
Ecstasy
With the
Conspicuous consumption
Of books?...

Wisdom is a fire, a little enlightens and much burns,
Insight and experience are an added fillip,
Some folks are wise and some are otherwise,
Delinquent in his quick temper dithers,
Ore of gold mixed with precious stones,
Man so erudite is a gem bridles ensuant yen !!...

Thy insides churn, full of dread,
Thou have beautiful work inside thou head,
Thy mind is knowledgeable, simply rare,
Though this intellect is that which thou cannot bare,
Thy have great difficulty while attempting to explain,
Thy mind is erudite, though immensely insane....

Neither for majesty
of erudite loquacity
nor for elegance
of literary superiority
does he deeply crave
to gain mundane popularity;

but truly gifted he is
with the eloquence of silence,
the dignifying humility
and grateful reverence,
the persuasive power
of quiet truth, his best defense....

In the twilight
of his life
my father, erudite
said to me

Beware the praise singer
strangers who linger
the beggar, the liar
the lottery bookmaker

Son, he said again
watch travelers at dawn
those seeking gain
avoid the late comer

My father said to me
this is the key
my son, upright
this is your cue...

Embittered winter
indignant
spreads rancor
erudite in malice.

Irreverent arbitrate
derisive
disdains masses
sardonic in verse.

Vengeful slayer
belligerent
inflicts brutality
pitiless in wrath.

Steadfast rime
unyielding
immovable blight
resolute in rage.
