IN SHADES OF OPAL

Belligerence absconding into inland empires,

thieving the night trained on an insuppressible meme,

cascading from the monumental into the deontology of their surviving the wayward need.

Omniscient networks reticulated in the key of uncommon practicality,

subjacent to omnipresent conformity in the monument of gladatorial heights.

I have the articles and accoutrements of truth ebbing in a glow of neon procurement.

Sitting in proverbial hope, maurauding disclosures,

distanced from a grief-stricken wit,

woven in weaveworked wayward wordplay wincing in wisdom's want.

Somewhere between a war of contrition and attrition,

*philonometric hope, measures the impact of their philosophies,

in the guide of errant disentanglements perfecting the sky,

in shades of opal.

*Showing a concern for rules (measuring the impact of rules on society).
