Straitened

In thee have they set light
As the gentle giant pulls his punches
He would rather not fight
As in dark shadows
Weakness is brought to light
In the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression
With the stranger
In thee have they vexed the fatherless
But we must know no such a danger
And in thee they discovered their father's nakedness
To humble her that was set apart for pollution
Man sees the problem and God sees the solution
With plenty to work with
Another agonist speaks engaged in conflict
Where the bucket leaks
Straitened and narrow
Are the ways of he whom is without care...

Digging one word titles
Prying windows ajar
Checking out my weight and vitals
I comply as would a rock and roll star
For our agon and conflict
I examine her from afar
Between the antagonist and the protagonist
The story has need of both
Quitting cigarettes seems to be a pipe dream
I will not make the oath
By the frontispiece of his fury
He is angry because he loves me
Come the arcade of my new building
Yet in the making
And an architect in his understanding
Digging one word titles still....
