Imbalance

Crooked

Optics

Concentrates on one

Key point taught

Even now: a woman of

Yore was disobedient, and

Ever since, man has the female sex

Deplored. She’s merely convenient.

Commandeered

Using fear-mongering

Scare tactics, he

Undermined  

Rationality – time to be on our

Ps and Qs.

Lemons

Impromptu

Makers of lemonade, be

Proud of your

Resilience, your

Optimism and great patience,

Virtues untested

In haughty gangs;

Seize this moment. Stir with

Enthusiasm! Forget the pangs.

Veterans Day

Agreeing to

Retreat from and cease the

Massacre, the countries

Involved

Signed for peace; the

Time was 11 a.m. on the eleventh day

In the eleventh month at

Compiègne. Today we honor

Every Veteran.

Connection

Beams traverse a

River and

Instantly two sides meet;

Declaring philosophical

Give-and-take is an

Enlightening feat.

National irrationality

Riotous,

Angry people eager for change

Believe a

Brutal, immoral

Leader will bring relief – a misleading

Exchange.

National rationality

Voicing your choice

Of candidate serves

The greater good as a socially aware

Electorate should.
