Ups and Downs

Foot hills always enamour me
Here experience delight, here,
Tardy sense, I agree.  Chivvy me
Into sights forebidden. Decree,
Immutable is the decree.
Ups and downs there are
Lawns of Nature always creep,
The rebels have bruised knees.
Draw carping equality, socialism,
Dull thoughts exhort  peace.
Decimated upstartism stalls,
Heralds novelty for daily breads
Flowers have mature buds,
They await fading times,
Philosophies, thoughts astray,
Nomadic languages, linguistics,
Lip service soaked in idealism,
The trajectory of fance circular.
No beginning, no middle, no end.
Always rob by sucking.
So terrorism is cowardice
Thoughtless, imbecile,
Exploitation is natural
So is ups and downs.

Line two I suggest dropping

Line two I suggest dropping the second here it still reads well without it. Other than that this is an excellent poem, well written, well thought out. Chrys
