Quiet Time
  Sean August 2003
   
  Bombarded sensations to pleasure, please Open your eyes to witches in stores.
  Dictated sublimation to enslave and tease Listen to venomous viper you deplore.
  Drowsy stillness where no distractions lie Smell someone you can't ignore.
  Sum up worries as they fly by. Feel a love your passions adore.
     
  Act on each - yes categories will work Have a pencil to jot tidbits down
  'Cept those that brand anyone a jerk. Forgiving eraser if it hits hollow sound.
  Sheet rains of self-reflection A pompous Polonius is easily found
  Protect us against morbid-introspection. "Do no harm" starts a healing ground.
     
  Pendulum swings swift timeless fro Focus on a few buzz words that shriek
  Pity Pride extremes merely ego show. And time before/after sneak and bleak.
  Paranoid braggert wrapped flag to tight Slick naked flattery is it so sheik?
  Command control an enemy to fight. Throw out the act of mumbling meek!
     
  Excuse some excuses but pacts be pax Commercial faith bland and blind
  Allow and be allowed to add just acts. Power politics mercenary Money mind.
  Is the news new are the old old-fashion? Economics drive all but love and friends
  No need to act like a bastard bastion! Quiet time's over is that how it ends?
