Hit Head On After Starting To Skirmish
Had hit head on after starting to skirmish;
Destroyed objective when did extinguish;
Waited;
Dissipated;
Control not needed so it would relinquish.

Skirmish
It turns so fast
from happiness to sadness,
yesterday
was a warm spring day,
then without warning
Cold.
Winter beddings

Like it was a privilege
Following or going against traditions
Whether or not believing in religions
On a planet with high gas emissions

Or is getting continually outwitted
Going to always help kindred
Before and/or after dirt was sifted
Got into another skirmish
With those that didn't want to see me flourish
So earnest
To put me underneath currents
Or inside a furnace
But I was more than ready for any deterrents
And unwilling to give up on purpose
Above or below the Earth's surface

another trade route threatened
rude,crude oil's pipeline....
