vacillating desires 
vicissitude of thought
vintage but valueless 
venting ego urges
vice vibes that vilify
vitiating our soul
volte-face yet we remain

We Scatter Sweet Seeds

We scatter sweet seeds
and await germination.

Like them we too shall rise. 
The nourishing womb—
a crib of preparation;
a new birth is coming soon.

No vicissitude can ever
prevent our liberation.

Our eyes are never
not focused upon the prize....

Fortitude and Vicissitude

What we will need is the fortitude
So we can withstand each vicissitude
In life and be able to survive
Also as well as remain alive
By a reporter will be interviewed.

Each and Every Vicissitude

How about this for a short one?

What should be instrumental and we include?
In all of life and each and every vicissitude
Which by you were included and expected
But people like Trump I stand corrected.

Broken wings don't fly
Stone doesn't weep for thy,
Only the decayed understand
The way of life leads to the dead,
It isn't a boring vicissitude
Vapidly crumbling transitorily from the crude
Ways of men and the history of their brooding
Under the bridges of trolls dueling,
Instead, taking up the mantel of peace
Sprung from the falling of pieces.
