to the knowing of lies
and the buildings of goodbyes
in not relying on how
only poetry indents and cow
none doth go without
shallow pools of salt and drought
yet the agile defeatest's tower
criminaling the dangerous boughe
yeasts beneath rotten waters
stirring none salve and bothered
the witnesses of the guillotines
unclean and guiltied behind that door

When shall we learn to recognize the truth
That we are being preyed upon by beasts
Whose sugared words are not enough as sooth
For our wounds that rather increase like yeasts?
How many roads or bridges need to fall,
Or lives to lose fighting in others’ wars?
How many children need grow in the hall
Of ignorance, or tending their own sores?
When we go to the polls, let’s turn the tides
And put aside thoughts of personal gains;
Let’s break partisanship that just divides
And tramples on what decency remains.
They feed the beast that vote for selfish end;
They let the wound fester and never mend.

A Copernican change - analysts say,
Or a paradigm shift;
Progression has gone a long way,
With daydreams drift...!
The revolution that had once begun,
With the wheel long ago;
Has rolled on with stun, spun, and fun,
Now to aglow...!
I could not believe it when I did touch
The smart touch phone wonder;
Mystery in it I felt much,
Like calm thunder...!
Communication, like spring buds and blooms,
Fervor-fresh and fragrant;
Forever new finale fumes,
Like a vagrant...!
Computer? Who cares? Wheel? Oh! No! Grown old!
Enjoy a small apple;
In the form of tablets, handsets,
Till you grapple...!
We go on; Our kids too; like birds and beasts
In old woods with new trade;
Our minds leavened by newness-yeasts,
Like lilies fade...!!!

Excuse me if I come across as brusque,
but you exude a certain pungent musk,
as though you’ve grown up with the wildebeests,
or recently discovered ancient yeasts.
And so for your forgiveness, I do hope;
I really meant to stifle that last laugh.
For Christmas, I have given you some soap;
I find that it works wonders in the bath.
I also think you’ll have a better year;
in fact, I’m sure it will be quite improved
when not beset by all those rutting deer
and every other animal that’s hooved.

Caddie of Manger was incredible granger
He kept her bees in the seas of Kraken Kranger
His bees were the beasts
Fed on brewer's yeasts
Brewed beers for the bears Caddie a little skanger
