Attenuation

Corpses proliferate in soaring violence; heirloom of franchise and eminence— perish in erosion. Timid denizens of derision, cynicism in roaring silence — optimism’s paling vapor—commodity of Indecision, our halcyon days forgotten. Chosen token of audacity; the onyx maladroit feigns, prevaricating beneath the Sacred canopy. Etudes of apathy; attrition unlamented; streams of guile— quixotic squall conversely merge — veiled conceit, eloquent arrow of equivocation. The policy of attenuation. Treason’s vine obscured beneath the blind surf of consent. © 2014 & 2016 W. S. Warner
