moral ethical lies big tent poetry #2

cognitive within its complexity

journey awaits

statistics of perplexity

approach negates



positivistic, political idea, positivisme

hang off the moon meditate



stoic in views

constrained from love

legitimate fear of bad news

utilitarian pleasure of a shove



feelings, faces, au fait

swing from the sun soar



transformation of a social idea

tortured with silence

becomes something which to adhere

it should be for avauance

  1. Some nice sounds here PAMELA, but 'avauance' has got me!

  2. Derrick,
    Thanks and it means "to profit or advance". I wanted a different word to rhyme with silence. I see you remember my name ;)

  9. Sometimes those big words intimidate and can often lose their effect if overused.
    Here they flow and make the piece what it is - a pleasure to read. And given the context of the prompt they fit perfectly.

    Thanks for that. Some of these words were taken from the programs I listened to and I expanded on them with wikipedia and google.
