Cogs Of Confusion Poem by John Sensele

In the face of absurdity and indignity
Keep your cool
Maintaining and sustaining dignity
As you deploy your temerity tool.

The salience of sapience in the main
Signifies more than gourmet gravy
In the context of viewpoints that remain
Cogent in your career in the navy.

Worry not, tarry not
Forge ahead with zest and zeal
Blowing them hot, give endeavors your best shot
When brain-broken kill on the hill the daft deal.

Head shrinkers shrug
The maleficious mind
Whose corrosions, contusions and superstitions bug and tug
Tombstones where six feet under peace they can't find.

Grant no room for spite
To loom large
Lest your contributions should grow trite
As you embrace and stress garbage from the creepy cabbage

Instead kill cabbages with love
Pouring tonnes and tonnes of kindness
To fly them with love on wings of the donor dove
Whose feathers fly facts teeming with fondness.
