Accepting aches acknowled age,
Feeling funky frustrating rage!
Wisdom weighted warns wooing swage?
Philosophy pays this pain's fame?
Story's stepping stones hurts solemn game?
Covertly nothing seems the same?
Wishing, waiting, wondering's wage?
Without knowing what it's about?
Making many to fight a bout?
Falsely stated brings you some clout?
Believe Kids sentenced to a cage?
Parted in half then in each eighth!
Does Not Translate into Any Faith!
God has Spoken the Good Book Saith!
Returning History's Seen this Page!
Following Blindly People Bray!
Never Again Made from Old Clay!
Generation's Reflection Day?
Judging Other's but Who's On Stage?
Given Time's Perculation Storm!
Topsy turvy things All Transform
Until Dust's Both of Our Uniform!
The Rightful Judgement Then Will Gauge!
Serpent's are Considered Snakelike!
Split Tongued Not a Small Migrant's Tyke!
If Lies be told they're So Unlike!
Profiteering Government's Sage?

Write a Zejel 8/02/19
Potlatch Poetry Club Submission
Notes;
1. Write a Zejel, a very old Spanish poetic form, 1st stanza a Trecet (3 lines) with an AAA rhyme scheme. All other stanzas are quatrains (4 lines) stanzas with xxxA rhyme scheme, so 2nd stanza would be BBBA, 3rd CCCA, 4th DDDA, and so on to the End of the poem- continue with as many quatrains as you like! Lines are usually 8 syllables long.
2. Pray, Love, Peace!
