undeterred by clouds

Of your mind's opposing choirs,
Which ranks will you join,
Of cowardice and despair
Or courage and fulfillment...

On watch for the slightest sign
A great big thanks
For closing up ranks
Thanks, it's your time to shine...

Fall

fun-filled,

leaf peeping,

harvest reaping,

real time falls behind;

On top it ranks,

giving thanks—

Autumn’s

If there is apprehension
Will have dissension.

Smart Aleck at political convention;
Much  disdain;
Constant pain;
In ranks raised so much dissension.

Recently thought of robbing a bank
If caught, I'll just call it a wee prank
If cops don't allow 
Put me in the hoosegow
I'll make friends with a felon and break ranks...

The ego plaintiff's tool ~ oppression,
lest the house be ruled by God with intercession,
the sameness ranks and duels with fool's content ~ obsession,
and heart's song ranks with fools, in its regression!...

This is Trump's plan we envision
That is to create much dissension
Around country and in the ranks
Foolish tricks and pulling pranks
Do horrible things women mention.

In Ranks Did Discover Dissension

While mumbling about then did mention,
Ended up going to a Trump convention;
Many had loitered;
Then reconnoitered;
In ranks we did discover much dissension.

Am Confused and Confessed

Are confused and things must be confessed;
Trump had refused to do what we did request;
Dissension in ranks;
Uncertain in banks;
End result was a long period of many protests.

Trump Can Be Causing Dissension

Trump can be causing dissension in the ranks, 
And discovered much of it is contained in tanks; 
A big blur, 
Did occur,  
Appearing when he pulls off all of his pranks.

Panic stations
Uneasy the herds where packs rode
Panic stations
Packs close ranks when lone wolf notions
Disrupt the pecking order mode
It's the lone voice that bears the load
Panic stations

Leaping to the mind,
The hatred kills the sane,
Leaping back on their soapbox,
Spoke of the devil's bane.
Hooded wolfs bleed to the ranks of angels,
They speak and boasts,
Marching through the dead of night,
Are the parade of ghosts....

Bones of Contention Center of Attention

Bones of contention can be at center of attention;
Often are found to be interesting I must mention;
Never up freeing;
With not agreeing;
They did mix among ranks with much dissension.

Little boys wield soldiers' toys
      plastic rifles, guns and tanks
   Grown men with MK-47s
      join the soldiers' ranks

   It's kill or be killed
      when you're in harm's way
   Your side's cause is just
      ~ or so you pray...

TRAFFIC  ACCIDENTS

Undeclared war of stupidity
No commanders - anarchy

No ranks,   no orders
No hands up,  no prisoners 

No medals, no white flag
No peace treaties, no appeal to the JAG

No winners - only losers
Everybody’s enemy - drunken drivers....

The nameless 
in their ranks of cubicles
faces lit by a visual display,
numbers, 
reflected in spectacles
a list to be picked, 
like ripe cherries;
the soft flesh consumed
the empty pit spat out,
discarded.
The nameless;
harvesting
the nameless....

I celebrate with you, 
and use your own styles, in hope that you'll approve, 
Minichu! 

I'll take my rhyme,
my rhythm and my passion too, 
big time! 

For ranks,
I'll use my grooves.
thanks!

I celebrate with you,
my rhythm and my passion too,
thanks!
