Green<\/strong><\/em> wall with a diamond shape<\/p>\n

Looking at my<\/strong><\/em> phone<\/p>\n

Green<\/strong><\/em> Hooded sweater<\/p>\n

Sitting<\/strong><\/em> all alone.<\/p>\n

I am<\/strong><\/em> not a clone<\/p>\n

I am<\/strong><\/em> just an image<\/p>\n

We are<\/strong><\/em> not apart<\/p>\n

It is<\/strong><\/em> just a scrimmage.<\/p>\n

10 more poems<\/strong><\/em> to finish<\/p>\n

I am filled with<\/strong><\/em> venoms<\/p>\n

This is my release<\/p>\n

Winning my defeats<\/p>\n

Everyword completes<\/p>\n

Every nerd competes<\/p>\n

Marathons for geeks<\/p>\n

I am one of these<\/p>\n

I aint one for wars<\/p>\n

I am one for peace.<\/p>\n

But in wanting peace<\/p>\n

I prepare for war<\/p>\n

Let us eat the rich<\/p>\n

While we feed the poor.<\/p>\n

Let the pistols pour<\/p>\n

Bodied up the floor<\/p>\n

I redact no thing.<\/p>\n

Muted birds won’t sign.<\/p>\n

If I am tasked to do a service,<\/p>\n

I must ask, what is its purpose.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, it’s in the furnace,<\/p>\n

I cannot be none but earnest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I leave marathons refurbished<\/p>\n

Dropping megatons of verbage<\/p>\n

Hosting telethons of courage<\/p>\n

Homemade teleprompters urgence.<\/p>\n

Holy helicopter surgens<\/p>\n

Only hell is topped with virgens<\/p>\n

Hold me yell and stop them urges<\/p>\n

All WE, fail, in godless churches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(Please forgive my stupid questions, and my ignorent mindless ranting, and my lack of understanding, but what’s the purpose of redacting?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
