A ship that sets sail must imagine a busy port of destination - a policy poem.
A thorough science warms the flask;
Vehemence, a daunting task;
Why the feel for human strength?
Does persistence stream at length? 

When the nation denies a statement,
Voices speak, decry abatement. 
What denial does construct:
Distribution’s petals plucked...

Nuance seems a mighty stretch;
Efforts linger, make us wretch;
Sometimes tests are what we manage;
Not this modest, poignant image.

Courtesy fulfills that need -
Awesomeness, a timeless creed. 
Ought we juxtapose creation
With this small-time levitation?
