A warm embrace; frosty chill as it prickles the air
Rejuvenating systems of species as it carves a path
Transporting essentials as it flows about the Earth...

It is the indispensable rhythm to the

Trump Disgusting and Are Distrusting

Trump is both demeaning and disgusting;
Breaking laws and him we are distrusting;
Lacks essentials,
And potentials,
And prefers being livid and women lusting.

You stood tall 
In the midst of
A crisis and you
Were the last face
That a dying person see
Not having to die alone
You were there as a comfort
Lonely hearts that fought
The good fight because
Of your kindness
And devotion...

    light-hearted,
      in vogue:
a genteel
   virtue
      devoid

semantics
of an

always in a hurry yes you scurry but life's essentials you repugn  
You walk and talk and move in quick  but you dont' hear my cries   
nor do you remember the little things,  like the color of my eyes....

I wish you weren't apart of me
Traces of you flowing through my arteries
Deprived of essentials like a commodity
Wish you were someone who fought hard for me

Take it all, at least what's left
You've burnt this candle from both ends
See the light through the plight...

It's a crime that brevity
is ruined by the boor
who wallows in verbosity
'til I can bear no more!

Be brief in your delivery,

not the ramblings of excess.

If you're prone to be loquacious
best avoid my company;
long-winded dissertations
bring the devil out in me!...
