The Tinge Of Sickness And Weakness Of Brinkmanship Poem by John Sensele

Follow your dream
Shred regrets in a stream
Accelerate hope in a ream

Live and give hope
Stay away from dope
So you can create and reap your cognitive crop

When fraticide fails
As you tip in your favour scales
When from benighted eyes your vision lifts veils

To march forth in victory
Preaching facts and remaking history
With much mirth in the story

That sings success
Earning you unlimited access
To the ultimate prize in the process

While you smile in a freedom file
Sauntering for a while
To smack despair in an extra mile

Hope and humility hoisting your side
Shunting aside the ride of pride
You denigrate and deride

Sowing seeds of generosity
Among vagrants in Sin city
Where street saplings scramble for scraps of sagacity

In a territory teeming with selfishness
Impelled and propelled by recklessness
Tinged with weakness and sickness.
