WITHIN THE TRIAL

Try; in interactions of truth and all honesty
Then watch for its manifestations
Towards simple and away from complexity
To divine extend such; its invitation

Try truly living as opposed to making a living
Then measure such impressions
Think hence treat all others as but as siblings
Make every motive but a confession

HUNG

Caught deep in the reign of unprecedented times
Worn-out are old habits; lost are traditions
So held before us are unscripted bold, blatant signs
Depicted as in custom-tailored renditions

Caught within the parameters of like experiences
We clamor for justice or likened balance
Vanished with others are even such conveniences
Characteristic of contemporary imbalance

OF ILL PURSUITS

Ignorance is not the bedrock of solution
Nor its kin nay offspring; acts of violence
Mistaken of mind but really its pollution
Unmistakably; its encouraged impotence

Ignorance is of a convenient ill response
Motivated by some aroused, ill emotion
Initially thought fitting to some instance
Only to be proved a distasteful concoction

DELIVERANCE

Mankind groans under the weight of inequality
Suffers under the pretense of opportunity of choice
Chokes on decisions regarding global air quality
Only whispers caught from those thought of as voice

The cape of such matador is tantalized democracy
Draped over a sword of much global neo-colonialism
Designed; implemented governmental autonomy
Made to order; equipped with its liberator’s catechism
