A font of poetry

Thinking
Thinking
All the time
Trapped inside this ample mind
Notes of music
Though without tune to together them bind
To the beat of the drummer unseen

But of expression
Ineptitude breaks the surface, and shows
Like an Iceburg
A suggestion of further flaws
Of inexplicable scale
when viewed by what is surface-shown

So Anon! I Anon to a place online
To share these unexpressed thoughts of mine
With further clarity when expressing with rhyme
And so please lend me a moment of time
That I may share these ideas I find so sublime
In the hopes my Ideas will somewhat sublime
And spread like a haze of firedamp in a mine

To perhaps ignite the imagination of others.

And thus this thread was made.

Retreat! Retreat!
The enemy attacks
No tactics this time
Show them your back
Since the woes aren’t fleeting
The blows aren’t glancing
Even when dancing through life

For you’ve forgotten the steps you’ve been shown
By everyone you’ve ever known
Before you knew to choreograph
The steps became your unfortunate own

But you turn about
And look about
And walk about
And think about it
What was there to fear?
I’m afraid I can’t remember.
Where’d my weapon get to?

But no.
You dropped it in your hasty withdraw
No more ever-present scabbard from which protection to draw
And in all this searching the pursuit is upon you
What a waste of time.
But your death serves as a lesson to all
Fear retreat more then you fear Death’s scythe’s fall.

Jingo Jango Where’d the man go?
With his flag new-sewn
And such fine words on his breath

This land is your land.
This land is my land.
So definitive
No room for barter
But too much room for borders

Zoom out
A beautiful quilt
Such varied shapes and sizes
All the result of some bloody battle’s prizes

But the people care not
Because it lets them think not
For when a law there is not
What to do they know not
And if that knot of not thoughts they think not about
While naught happens not and such landmasses fought
The War horse’s trot can be heard “CLIP-CLOP”
But what choice have we got?

I haven’t a clue.
Would you happen to know a practical alternative?
