Unbowed But Cautious

Unbowed but cautious
faltering reforms
of flawed androids
uncurtailing
greenhouse gases



faulty software
loaded to maim
by reigniting debates
of involuntary exchanges



triggering peripheries
setting off swappings
of circumvented credit
of voluntary debt



assumed expirations
picking up paces
of maladjusted rates
seeking gains
in social gaming


change-based interplays
unsustainably
damaging reputations
with illicit ad campaigns


pressures growing greatly
denigrating commodity traders
of fiscal conservation
withdrawing racily
from higher education


back in the news
never having left
urgent messages
warned
of consequences
for the unforgotten



directly linked
as secret peeks
to lower links
of overhauled
major laws
long before
prophylactic
mores



porous vocal
squalls of fraud
reigning in
neighboring states
as gangs of eight
lawmakers
with flight delays
for immigration



turning into stampedes
of greater transparency
over shared for centuries
as implied complicities



secretly solely lonesome
like dark deeds
of urged conservancy
replete with inklings
of not exactlies



masking shams
holding barely
onto holy grails
while scrambling
for small-scale
contraptions
turned by handles
of water cannons
and tear gas canisters...
