Chaos Collides with Charisma -------------------------------------------
Chaos collides with charisma
Smiling faces
Sugar plum sweet slogans
Shouted in solemn sincerity
Or was it disciplined doublespeak?
Doesn’t matter
Avoid the eyes
and watch the words
How they flow forth like the Colorado
Burrowing through rock and time
Carving the great divide
Till they are truly the heart of all things
(It’s silly really
Horrific humor maybe
A gut laugh at a plane crash
Can’t believe they all wore their seatbelts
With parachutes still in place)
Swimming in swirling words
That feel right
not so sure about taste...
Best to boil them first
Comfortable though
A diverse diet is dangerous
Ask the dogs
about the chocolate
So there it is
Collossal collusion of chaotic
yet altogether congruent charisma
Deliciously dull
Un-scared
Thank god.

Is one poem. This:
Swimming in swirling words
They feel right
not so sure about taste...
Best to boil them first
Comfortable though
A diverse diet is dangerous
Ask the dogs
Feels like the typical outcast high school kids. Sort of like a Dream Theatre song- sometimes the music relates to the lyrics...and then they lose it. The guitars take over, the drums blare, the bass is riding over the synchronizer. It feels like a myriad of thoughts, free-flow from the musicians.
The point I am trying to make it that these two stanzas come from, or are inspired, analogized, by too many different sources.
I think you got this from the movie "The Great Debaters", or just the idea of there being great debaters. Not sure if this has anything to do with elections though, you would have mentioned Huckabee's win and Hilary's tears. Hmm. It's a nice difference from your other work (no references to technicalities or science-like things).
i liked the flow of the poem and i see you have used a lot of alliteration which i thought worked and read well it made the poem somehow livelier, although i got a bit tongue twisted on the 4th last line. i,m not to sure if the poem has anything to do with the elections ,going on over there in america at the momment or not.just a guess.
i enjoyed the read
thanks for sharing
