Voor WD poetic form challenge, again

 https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/wd-poetic-form-challenge-trenta-sei


Het is trenta-sei dit keer, dus heb ik daar weer een idee op aangepast.

Ja/nee?

Suggesties? 

 




Thirty-six to politics


Can you bite the hand that beats you? 

It sets your rage on other sights 

Only occasionally feeds you 

Diverts all blame to other sides 

Inflated tangent, accusation 

The touted pathway to salvation 

 

It sets your rage on other sights 

A painted target clear as day 

No shortage here in offered slights 

Life is much easier this way 

Chameleon with many hats 

You rush to heed a master that 

 

Only occasionally feeds you 

Other times, chews to the bone 

After it has staged its coup 

You only reap what you have sown 

And you will never even know 

Puppet master, steers the flow 

 

Diverts all blame to other sides 

Authority of misdirection 

He will conquer, who divides 

Specialist of fain subjection 

Its nemesis is clarity 

It revels in its rarity 

 

 

Inflated tangent, accusation 

Never pin what is important 

It ever thrives on obfuscation 

Banks more notes when they’re discordant 

The few inevitably do better 

When the many are in fetters 

 

The touted pathway to salvation 

Away from tangible solution 

Only leads you to stagnation 

And simply strengthens resolution 

So much wool over your eyes 

That you’ll never see the skies
