Lamented-lost borne-as-boldly-broken-before,

sacrificed-seeming-senseless-soured-and-scorned,

flailing-fears-furious-ferocity as integrity-implored.

But ceded-now-cementing-cell’s surer-walls-shored,

derisive-debris-deceptive mortar wailing-the-ward,

terribly-now-tentative-tears-torn of petty-liars-pour,

gracious-good-not-gnashing-greatness-gazes-galore,

maliciously-maligned-masses-soon-mourn-no-more.

Poured-is-past-piling-plots-putridly-plied,

but consider-less-callously-change-as-chides

close-and-clamor-cumulatively, at entropic-end.

Derisive-delusory-dreads-diminish-if-dawns-decide

that gloom-not-glamor and true greatness-glides

not fearful-furious lies ere flag’s-fortunes-fly.

And remember-in-ruin it’s candid-to-cry,

such-same-as-self boldly, by-and-by,

no simple-sum-for-sinister-and-shy.

Even trembling-and-tumults-thine,

never-ever-near too-late-to-try,

One-and-one hundred, haunting-hated scythe-and-sunder.

Hit the piñata.

Hit the piñata.

Strike pounding-paper facade,

with-as-often-without grace.

Hit the piñata,

with flurry-flailing-righteous-fusillade,

with-or-without features-of-faces-faced.

Prancing-such-parties and-all participate.

Hit the piñata.

Again, brought-again-brought-again-barrage,

curiously-within-contained-carapace encased,

Hit the piñata.

Hit the piñata.

Hit the piñata.

He-who-hasn’t-sin-holds sinisterly-such haste,

soon worthiest-granted-wishes-in-wielding-wake.

Hit the piñata,

and-out-after comes-from-concealment-craved,

cascading-enough-candy-within-carried to sate

the gracious-gnashing-of-ghoul-or-gods.

Please, by all means, as-all-applaud…

Hit the piñata.

Until it breaks.
