Those Words

 
It’s a word wanting to toe
The same line
The same sign
Looking more to jail what shows
How thoughts stop
How thoughts cop
All attitudes that roost there
Where they teach
Where they reach
To consign and covet dared
Holds had been
Holds had seen                        

To impeach the thought they grasp
By word’s health
By word’s wealth
Would just only shame perhaps
A whim lost
A whim’s cost
To tall orders that ordain
What ensued
What’s pursued
The deeds of defenses sustained
To descend
To commend                        


To take counsel on the right
That deceives
That receives
All attention to the plight
Of pure pain
Of poor gain
Doubts what it defines here
What distracts
What detracts
Are fears resolved and cleared
Peace expects
Peace perfects                        

So the subjects can become
Balanced based
Balance faced
Untoward an aggrieved some
Not too meek
Not to speak
Who do harbor what concerns
Peace provided
Peace divided
Such blows until speech discerns
What thoughts stored
What thoughts roared
