Aloha poets,

today's poetry. Enjoy!

Dystopian Stops

The struggling periphery, rustic underdog values

Takes a snap to be caught out by thunder halos

Geographies of centrality takes a center stage

New efficient city takes its turn at the page

Legendary quest in the old tangible way

Veteran and vikings once had their say

Academics plan voting, seek in values

Technology scans, toting bleak news

Violence analysts rise up in the mist

Travel therapy still targets the kissed

Glitter bodes, fine beauty finds a way

Unmitigated outmigrations grind away

Any likely scenario has its own vultures

New heights command global eco cultures

Economics fight amongst their chosen battles

Ease of doing business beckons snakes, no rattles

Business stays within its lone dear sharp focus

Clear sense of place brings no hocus pocus

Infrastructures of communication's tight

Dystopian stops in darkness of night

Raintree Trainee with Vision Wisdom

Going green becomes its own tangible tango

Pine trees, mountain coastline, papayas, mango

But what about corporate culture and leaders there

With stockholders and profitability do they care?

As friendly boards and labor rules apply

The right to manage makes CEO the guy

Running for office though is a little different ilk

Being a former cop, city organizer helps get the milk

Respect showed becomes respect earned

Managers with working visions on the job learned

Tall trees may grow by themselves with clean air

Leadership in government likewise needs care

Multiple constituencies to serve and delight

More than an android for good morning, good night

Few shared interests and rarely shared goods

Eco-friendly approach may get you out of the woods

Councils out there have another set of constituencies

Totem poles digital, a pecking order that sees

Bureaucracies may entrench and bunker in close

Systems move slow yet you can still win by a nose

Tall trees in the forest have bought into their vision

Formed the alliance with critters blue sky in one mission

With birds and squirrels put in their right places

Vision wisdom is the winner in such a tight races
