I created more discord
and feed on its breath
in depth..
..as it's deeply reflecting
evolving thoughts
even awoke the bored
I filled my cup with discord
and offered Tyrant Joe
A place in the cabinet
A seat in the senate
A room in the white house
And a board of stiffened voters to
walk upon....
To walk away on free
from my tresspasses
To some where else
.....?
Where I created discord
.....?

".. and Scholars..... " That gives me pause, Eli, it's like a beacon. It holds the meaning underlying the piece. The whole resonates, the form strong-arms its nuances, the whole has a bite of despair. Brilliant work! :)
