repeated 
         sounds amplify,
       syncopate
unveil
marshal
    the subconscious
into
      surreal
         simplicity
of
 assonance
        and rhyme...

Learn the rules and be a professional
Then make it intentionally personal
Break the rules freely as you wish
There will be no one to dare you punish
Even when they scheme and marshal...

Impartial Marshall

When I was pulled over by a marshal
Had wanted him to be impartial
Never favorites ever playing
Always kind words saying
Before he steeped on my metatarsal.

An Impartial Marshall Harsh Will Be

Moved through mountains and found a marshal;
Were immediate indications of being impartial;
A man of the law,
Worst we ever saw,
And we heard sometimes him being harsh will.

A town marshal at high noon, a sinner, 
Sat alone for a spaghetti dinner. 
Gang of outlaws' rode to town, 
Marshal, they want to gun down. 
Bullets don't bicker, wind up a winner.

Marching, marching
Flowered bonnets
Flowered bonnets
Tripping the light fantastic.

Mom got so excited;
“Turn on the TV”
“Who’s the grand marshal?”
Look for the fire department in line. 

It has always been an attack on my ears
And my hat never had enough fruit on it.

Is it possible? 
It sounds impossible 
When a constable 
Claiming to be capable 
To trickle
The Marshal
On a triangle
Table. 

Is it possible ? 
It can be terrible 
When the constable 
Fail to dribble
The general 
And jail 
Calls his name. 
He starts to tremble 
To see trouble 
And be throwing by force....

You don't need a listener,
let your heart muscles
pound out
a blind-folded poem.

Practice hand to hand combat
with your unlettered soul
until it lays down defeated.

Marshal the words,
articulate their fractured forms.

in the dark, wake up
the light,
it is your next unwritten page,
destroy its blank face....

A cowboy, and his horse with no name,
    One day rode into town, seeking fame.
    Where he shot the town marshal,
    But it was only partial.
    Now the lawman's new horse is named flame.

Here's a possibility regarding this whole corona virus.
This could all just be a ploy to get the people into such a state of panic,
that they will willingly allow marshal law to be enacted,
and that is not only a scary notion to consider for all of us,
but particularly for anyone anywhere on any government watch list.
A list that ThisKidster appears to have qualified to enlist....

Maradona

He is the footballer of the year
His frosty sport was like a boom
He announced his presence
Under a strain of marshal melody
And with a blast he entered the field;
Lost were the referee & ourselves
In the mist of his bombshells
The game has been a half-time
A smart footballer, he is gone!
It is a game to plunder & share
It is the pillage of our earth
Our earth is at the crossroad....

As a man with a gun, he was among the best.
He lived in North Fork out in the west.
As a widower, he felt much anguish and pain.
This extraordinary man was Lucas McCain.
He and his son Mark lived alone on a ranch.
On a tree of life, they were a strong branch.
Town marshal Micah often called him for aid.
Lucas stood strong, steady, and staid.
No one included McCain among the meek.
He stood as a hero on the television each week.

A day off.
Totally free
Late Summer clear skies
mind seeking someone to spend it with
Or not
Take a ride down cape
Favorite coffee in sip cap cup
Janis or Marshal Tucker?
Tull or Who?
Backroad dawdling
Scenic route to Nowhere
Maybe even write another song
Or ride the Vineyard ferry
Back and forth
Or mow the greens
and finally play some golf
Salt in the air
Wind in my hair
What do I care 
About most?
I think I'll go buy
A crown roast...

The points I heard them marshal
Made them Plainly Partial
And The Decidedly Racial …

Quarters intended ‘Residential’
Treated like Files Confidential;
The structures for The Influential,
Mode of rent non-sequential …

Lessors’ hearts Loveless Chambers,
Their fiery eyes Indignant Embers,
The Disfavored taking for Tennis Balls,
Their lips for undisguised name calls …

Not unlike The Spatial
To breed The Racial or Partial
To The Abyss sending The Spirit Social....

If you are seen on the street,
not taking PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY,
to prevent catching and spreading this dreaded disease,
You Are Giving The Government An Excuse To Enforce MARSHAL LAW On EVERYBODY,
so protect yourselves seriously when you are out on the street,
if not for your own health, but to ensure our already limited liberties.
Rights are like grains of sand everybody.
Once you let them slip through your fingers, they are difficult if not impossible to retrieve....
