Acrostic DIVULGE Divest, direct, divulge secrets of war Instrumental for dominance with a Variety of armed tech that kills, remotely, Unforgiveable, unfettered violence against Less armed people, who just want to Greet the next morn with knowledge of Expecting a future that’s unhindered.

Warriors dressed in sheeps’ clothing Fight, as warriors are wont to fight, Let your voices rise, Soar like a kite, Cross oceans of fright, conquering
Hearts with words of peace, Empathy, compassion for humanity That has fallen astray, accepting fraticide As a way of life, unquestioningly
Some follow like the sheep they are, While others use every medium, From comedy, literature, criticism, Painting, sculpting, all in their way fare
And pair their visions of peace Fighting, unnoticed by many, But those affected by their kindly Actions have only gratitude that’ll fleece
Despair into an abyss where peace Reigns in warrior stance in pride That freedom fighters are framed in place By the courts of the people who don’t hide.

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration Of words in rhyme and rhythm? A world of poetic devices, accommodation Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?
What’s a love story If not one that it has a start, Climax, and end that’s happy or gory? Where pink tinted Glasses reflect
The author and audiences Need to escape life’s duties, stresses That place tremendous pressures On couples needing one anothers happiness’s
Without needing to compromise Or putting in the hard work required. ‘What’s love?’, in that case? That’s the staying power of being loved,
Loved for yourself, Loved for your strengths, weaknesses, Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf, As your greatest power shines in smiles
That never dim while facing despair, Despair That the bridge you’ve created Can fall if your efforts only stare Rather than repair the damage to be blessed.
Blessed by sharing love With those of your inner circle Who’ve proven loyal in grave Circumstances while never living in a pickle.
The enchantment of poetic words Lies in the esthetic that builds bridges Between enemies, frenemies, lords Of your hearts, whose presence is in poetic cages.

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. I always wait impatiently for your comments. Thank you
CHIAROSCURO Chained light, Heavenly bright Incessant shadow, don’t Avert the radiance of justce Reflecting right’s light Offering hope when despair is Somewhat easier to drown in, while Courage to fight the battles of equality Under the umbrella of darkened power Revealed in rays that shine a ritulant glow Over the dispossessed of humanity’s light.

Thank you for inspiring me to continue to voice my thoughts in writing that appears to be pleasing.
Love’s Masks
Share your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals, That power your imagination and hails Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails You have to choose who needs some derails.
Today, we hide behind our likes, Our social media personae that drives Our self-esteem into the grounds If it’s not up to par with our peers.
Why do we hide? Is intimacy such a bad ride, That you need masks to keep all inside?
Or do you soar in flight Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite Out of the ball, then turn it into a free for all?
Love’s power only grows As love is exchanged and plows Dissent into an abyss of darkness
Where it’s devoured by happiness Of love shared and empowers hopefulness In a world that dictates the reign of the Ego.

As I face the face on the wall, Its chiseled, geometric form At great odds with my rounder fall Of jaw, cheekbones, wavy hair, crome
Colored eyes, show me a wall Of grey sheets, strong, heavy In its ability to crawl To adventures in imagination’s wavy
Thought process, while the wall Is 2D, unmoving, emotionless in prestine Condition for a crazy ball Where all that’s required is his presence, fine
In looks but empty for no thoughts on the wall Except surviving, not living, and weathering The changes in environments, a call That brings out the eco-protector to come dancing.
As the writing on the face of the wall Is eroded with time, so the face’s identity Is erased like dust in a breeze that will Hold you into its warmth and fly into memory.

One lonely Boy, shy Tries making A friend flying Into the unknown, Lonely. One. Loneliest Number ever. It tests hardest When you’re surrounded by familys’ Best, whose envy alienates you farthest.
Standing alone with a whirring world That’s confusing, struggling blind, Into unknowns that surround, Bind your moves. Loud Is the thunder around That drowns bad Decisions Needing Greater Care.

The soft white snow is falling Blanketing the world in peaceful Harmony, where jingles soar in joyful Solidarity, blending hopes, dreams strumming
Words of uniting families and enemies, Erasing negativity, murder with the priority Of funding hope, compassion, Humanity As we get together facing dangers in symphonies.

As you age, wisdom flits in moments, Unexpected as they happen quietly, Without fanfare, they turn disappointments, Successes into an arduous world where honesty
Equality, and values of empathy Have flown the coop and landed on depravity, Turning goodness to a selfish policy That rots humanity from within, And honestly
Watching the evaporating humanity Within drives a sword into our hope for the future Of society that’s sold its soul carelessly To the highest bidder for avarice is a prayer
That never lets up, while the joy Of Community’s standing together Has rusted shut the chains of hope in a ploy To resuscitate ethics’ splendor.
This disillusionment makes me wish For death earlier so as not To watch Decadence become their sole purpose, a brush And it’s a contagion that sucks the soul into a hatch.
