Tenuously populated citation waiting
Meekly behind you shaking hands
I am a factor of misconception
More precise, by clarity imprinted in three names

Seated within….a
Commodity distributed, predestined espousal
Richness summing up all things
opposing all things unequal
Mystery of such, power of the air
Establishing promises, artistic samples, live leader
Flesh and maid were children
Nature’s resource suitably with temporal forms

Attributed characters, immutable or changeless
Fantasia’s Greensleeves for harp and flutes alike
Hypothesis of someone other then myself
Inside screaming to get out
screaming to get out

So to the composition I am a slave
Incorporation with this head of grace
Pouting and stubborn inherently
To the militia of darkness
Locals from an upsurge in cannons
Setting out to rid an army of skeletons
Giving good reason to stammer
Gagging ghouls, turning to hit and miss
Editing self mockery, receive their notices
And extensive coverage of updated news
Binding special offers, ridding this town of blues

Label me my ticket, bringing energy to mind
Believing helps the environment
Where water flows over hands
Helping to preserve the planet
So I clean my bathroom twenty or so times
Day by day…updating reminders
Revealing maintaining words
Creating cogent primers
Studying sutras in books preserved

I am the transgressor, the soldier, the thief
Cleaning out the passages of attentive activities
Holding on...holding on

you don't get read enough...maybe it's the length or maybe its the use of vocabulary in such ways...one really has to sit down and think in silence when they read you to be able to grasp it all...

which is a good thing
