That War...(part 1)

The colliding moment hum
Envelopes the lobes of mining mEYEnds,
When he spat words like a cobra's venom;
Clattering flames of FIREment, won by one.

S.O.S! PUNching punchlines on weak herds of heads.
Keenly sharpened sWORDS on the spot, spot on!
Resolute, resilient,
War! Words!

BRUTAL truth, dogged flute,
Spinning heads; stamping feet;
Kissing palms; tapping figs of hands
In the wide wild Wilderness of Truth.

Neither served hot or cold.
For the love of Euphemism's hate,
Solely mending and clanging,
Beclouding popping Judges' ick in fun form.

Like the Masseur's touch, his sWORDS
Caressed the FOUR-LAWN thoughts
Where subtle greenery of words lies,
Giving total freedom to helpless expressions.

Like the dew stumbling on Earth at dawn,
Kicking MENDioCRITICS from parched land
Of words, where facts whirl with no help,
So were the words spilling rumination on SAGAcity.

Hmm!
Smothering a certain Samurai' on thorns of tongues;
A poetically-insane claimed Mercy!
Wars, words, was...?

¶ The Young Shall Grow.

Secretion shunned secrets of the seething set,

As shackled nipples tackled supple sucklings.

Morning crowed in, mourning crawling;

Billion cradled heads couldn't sleep to night.

Till night, evening heaved noon into static light:

The sun would not set for these sorry sights.

For ageings were the teachers - tea-chers:

Cooks of diseased tea, served in cunning cup.

So they were effectively affective in youth's

Madarsahs, as they made them raw-sore.

What will the tenders eat?

Heat? They wouldn't be "flabberWHELMED" with it.

So, here's a plea for you; tabled before you,

For the eagles be begged so the chicks could coo.

Ageings, wouldn't you let the youths sleep to night,

So they could be grown where your end is sown?

*Madrasah: An Arabic school.

Flabberwhelmed: Flabbergasted and overwhelmed.

Note

For me, this poem gives a near-perfect definition of what is poeTHICK.
