An Alphabet Poem: Sacred Needs

Assigned to strke out
But begging for forgiveness;
Chosen by the enemy
Death becomes the mischievous.

Eroding in this hatred,
Falling from the fear –
Going nowhere quickly
Hellbent from this year.

Indignant by design
Jinxed by lack of time;
Kisses only shorten
Lustful feelings of my mind.

Manly, still selfish in ways
Never fathomed by the woman;
Open to flawed victories
Penetrated by this omen.

Quixotic, yet so impractical
Reminiscing far too late,
Sure of this fair ending
To this feeling, still irate.

Uniform are the soldiers
Virility still prevails
Without lessened tension
Xenophobic men fail.
Yearning for new beginnings;
Zeroed out by the frail.
