I figured where we fit on this little journey:      In the middle of the start just as it’s about to end.      Hire a gun! Hire Gun! Ah’a but can’t we be one?      Fixed- the fickle have a sickly sweet dream to spend.      Let them follow breadcrumbs all the way to the sun. And as the 'fat whites' are watching, we too watch them burn.     The woken dead poets sleep as we owe them it.     But yet I feel disgrace as I chase their tongues wit.    Fright learns a lesson when he hears himself gurn’.      Now he’s pouring himself sourly across this page.    Disgrace! Disgrace! can’t you fit each word in its place.    Foul taste! Foul taste! my words are forgotten,          with his forgotten waste.    But time as it takes, takes my breath slowly with it.      Till my last word is winded for another tongue to spin it.

Pt.2 The defence: “ Sonnet of the Descenders"
I figured where we fit on this little journey:      In the middle of the start just as it’s about to end.      Hire a gun! Hire Gun! Ah’a but can’t we be one?      Fixed- the fickle have a sickly sweet dream to spend.      Let them follow breadcrumbs all the way to the sun. And as the 'fat whites' are watching, we too watch them burn.     The woken dead poets sleep as we owe them it.     But yet I feel disgrace as I chase their tongues wit.    Fright learns a lesson when he hears himself gurn’.      Now he’s pouring himself sourly across this page.    Disgrace! Disgrace! can’t you fit each word in its place.    Foul taste!

Another edit. Pt 2. in a series I know it doesn't rigidly fit the form of a sonnet. But I wanted to mess with the form. The original was stanzas of 8 & 6
