They die with the preachers rhetoric
Judge not by the bragging
See how one tends to others

For the Dying, a Journey Through the Alphabet
Avoid becoming concrete.
Death encroaching
freezes great hearts.
Illuminate joy.
Kindle love.

Never orally
practice quaint
rhetoric. Speak truths.
usurp violent waters.
X-ray your zenith....

Debate Became Heated
Debate Became Heated

There were two groups who each other greeted;
At a drastic debate that had become heated;
Rhetoric for sure;
Hard to endure,
And revolved in a circle which was repeated.

Mating the Soul.
Uncommon me 
with rhetoric and fancy shoes.

Uncommon me
for what else do I have to lose?

Uncommon zeal
and half an ounce of courage too-

Uncommon me
and certainly, uncommon you.

Recall the rhetoric they promote. Much like their predecessors, they’ll struggle to keep us afloat. In truth, they do not care; all spouted by rote. Agree to all you denote, for your vote.

Rhetoric usage—
A pun, a true play on words!
Shades of confusion . . . 
	Ditto sounds, other meanings . . . 
Phonetic pun poetic!
