Conglomerated Thinking

An accommodated compromise
lessened lessons will apply
and we cannot see the sunshine, for the day;

an empty bubble of trouble
skies the limit, if you will
wrap your mind around the limitless parade.

Ingesting dieing dialogs
must not turn your head
beware the drone assigned to watch your back;

some timely networking cannot hurt
strange to re-arrange
keep your cards close to the vest, and change your name.

With silence as our allie
we'll keep our secrets tall
when we rally, we will let the choir sing;

subtract the collaterely damaged
from the sacrificial lambs
and before too long, collectively we'll shout.

But, silence does compel you
as you raise your cup to drink
take a trip around the tourniquet of truth;

our boxing days are over
but, we've passed the buck, before
guess the porch would be the best place to sit and wait.
