C-ing History
by Gary Hardaway
Convene, conspire, contend,
and conquer. Cull concubines.
Consign the rest to corpses
and contagion. Copulate.
Confabulate. Count and correlate.
Command consensus
and control commerce.
Consolidate, commemorate.
Collude, contaminate.
Corrupt, complacent.
Circumscribe communication.
Conjure calamity and calamity comes.
Collaborate with conquerors,
contemptuous. Constrain
complaints. Cooperate,
co-opted, and collapse.
Si, es bueno.

Such a great approach, Gary. Really connect with the shifts in phrasing here.
"Conjure calamity and calamity comes.
Collaborate with conquerors,
contemptuous."
Big like.*
Great idea. C-ing history can fill one with despair.*
Catchy, convincing, congratulations. :O)

Thank you, Bill, Sam, John, and Robert for reading this and for the affirmative responses.
Good one, Gary.*
If C-ing is believing, you made a believer out of me.

Collosal accomplishment. C-ing to the heart of the matter.
"collaborate with conquerors." Love all of this.
Clever catalog. *
"Convene, conspire, contend,
and conquer. Cull concubines."
"Command consensus
and control commerce."
Is this the capsulized, condensed version of the Republican Party's political platform... to be revealed at the upcoming convention?
Or is it Karl Rove's morning mantra?

Thank you, Joani, Sally, Gary, Harley, J. Mykell, and James for reading and remarking. I am grateful for your time and attention.
Very powerful effect with particular words chosen and the drumbeat of their repetitive sound. Well done.
Thanks, Gloria.
Completely catatonic. *
